My limited high school science knowledge, combined with 11 year of working with knives cutting meat has led me to some thoughts on this matter.
Knives rust due to them being in contact with other metal while wet. Something about the impurities in the water causing chemical reactions between 2 types of metal. Someone with a more recent education in this might be able to clarify why this happens.
