Ibrahiim, Gav and Gene, Thank you so much for your expertise (and kindness re the awful rust problem.)  I live in the Southeastern part of the US, and have 53 inches of rainfall per year.  I built a basement that is as waterproof as possible--sprayed-on rubber on the outside of the wall, and waterproof paint inside.   
And a raised wooden floor with dehumidifiers going constantly.  But, somehow the knives still managed to rust! 
I reckon it's back to the drawing board.... 
Thanks, 
Bill
