    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.
