They can have a bit of trouble with highly acidic foods like grapefruit or other fruits leaving a thin not too good tasting sludge on them---why old pocket knives sometimes had a silver "fruit blade" in them and silver fruite blades could be found in upscale kitchens.

We ust wiped the blade *before* cutting the fruit to help remove the oxidation layer and lived with it.
