There are different grades of stainless steels. The common, "construction" grade stainless steels usually rust albeit very slowly. And while some of them are basically impervious to corrosion, they are usually way more expensive or have a lot less tensile strength. I don't know about knives specifically but it wouldn't surprise me if those more corrosion resistant grades are what's used to make them.

All correct. Stainless steel is 'created' by adding chrome and a few other materials depending on the desired properties. But despite that it will still rust.

I think a good analogy world be eating healthy, you'll probably live longer then soon-to-be who doesn't eat healthy but in the end both will die and seize to exist.

Material science is incredibly interesting field and I think it will play a huge role in the future. It already does.

Example: The Gateway Arch was surfaced with a stainless steel alloy, and it is suffering some corrosion problems today.

Word tip: “cease to exist” rather than “seize”

Now that you said it, it totally makes sense, because too seize, means to take away as in: The police seized my laptop. Thanks ^^
