deal? I am not sure I understand your question.

Carbon knives have been around since the beginnings of steel making. A fact of steels, is that in general a rougher surface will rust faster than a smooth one, example just after grinding with 50 grit, a blade can rust while you are changing the belts on your machine! where as a 400 grit can sit in the cooling water for a while with no problem.

make it look nice, do NOT use the dish washer on good blades, wash them by hand and you are fine.

It wont pollute the food either if that is what you were asking,
