The appearance of reddish-brown spots on a bread knife after washing and not drying is a result of a chemical change known as rusting. Rust, primarily iron oxide, forms when iron reacts with moisture and oxygen. This change is indicated by the formation of a new substance, differing in properties from the original material.
