one thing.... if stainless steel touches another ferrous metal which rusts, the rust can transfer and your stainless WILL rust...............

Well actually all Stainless will eventually rust! It just takes a long time, the corrosion rate for say 304 Stainless at 50m above sea level is 1mm every 700 years!

I have a SS garden (hand) fork which rusted within a couple of years. It was never used however and the trowel from the same set which has been used continually has never rusted. I was pretty surprised by the rusting.

Chopsticks! Wooden ones are a pain in the behind to clean!

Hairsticks (basically, short chopsticks with some twiddly bit at the top to make them look pretty), being a frequent hair dyer, my wooden ones all have purple ends...Also, well finished stainless steel would mean that there was less chance of catching and ripping my hair when i use them.

Being a on again off again blacksmith, a stainless steel anvil would be dandy, though there might be some metelurgicul issues involved.

Stainless steel chopsticks would be brilliant. I'm gradually moving over to stainless steel garden tools, but the prices are something else.
