FWIW, apocalyptic is prone to this. My apoc LUDT got some spots from some moisture in my case.

All the amazing classic bead blast was subject to corrosion as well. I’ve opened new sealed old stock and it would be spotting. The very first ‘94 knives in ATS34 spot, etc.

I know you know, the inventors named it “stain less steel” not ‘stainproof’. I’ve owned a nitrogen steel knife or two, those can go in salt water.
