Use a soft wet cloth and a bit of metal polish like Cif. Rub in the direction of the grinding grooves with slight pressure.

most probably, the moister is getting trapped between the knife blade and the handle. You stick it in the block and the moisture wicks down, and there is little air flow in a knife block.
So, leave them layed out on a cloth for a few hours before you put them in the block.
But, to remove the rust take a little steel wool and some soap to them. It will come right off.

Nothing to worry about except appearance. They are probably not stainless or are in inferior type of stainless and so spot. Dry them with a towel after washing should stop the spotting. Rubbing with steel wool will remove the spots.

everyone is saying to use Brillo pads and steel wool, that will leave them full of scratches and take the shine off.
just cut up an onion with the knives, Ive tried it on all my knifes and it works great!!

salt and lemon juice. If they are cheap, dry them after washing, they have inferior plating. steel wool will scratch.
