Honey is acidic with a pH of around 4, so it technically corrodes metal if left for prolonged contact.
I make knives and I really want to let one sit in honey for a week to see if it gives it an acid wash.
I have other acids that work much quicker, but I’m having a bit of a giggle at making a pattern-welded steel butter knife and calling it my “Honey Knife”
Do it like Guga! Call it your Honey dry aged butter knife and do three of them that spent different times in the honey dip. Keri the one you liked the best and use the others as free giveaways.
Do people actually leave spoons or knifes in the honey? I just open the jar, scoop out what I need with my knife and spread it on my bread. And a lot of honey also comes in squeeze bottles, that way you can just squeeze it directly on the bread or waffle or whatever. But even with those I still use a knife to spread it around.
And most utensils are made from highly corrosion resistant materials right? As they get wet and exposed to all sorts of stuff all the time. And what about that Nilered video about the taste/smell of metal?

Same reason it’s not recommended to use metal pots or utensil for curries, the metallic taste can leech into the food.
