Around our house we make lots of toast and sandwiches every day - so having a good supply of spreaders is pretty dang important.  A few weeks ago we purchased this one - and the Zyliss orange handled one (feel free to check out my review there as well).  Long story short - this blade on this thing rusted and discolored badly the first time we put it through the dishwasher.  It's been through the dishwasher now probably 15 or 20 times and the blade is very discolored and continues to rust.  Given the cost and the brand name involved here I expected much more - I mean come on - what would a more premium stainless steel material have really added to the manufacturing cost here - 25 cents?...
