Yep.
Even stainless steel isn't rustproof. I have a stainless steel dive knife that if it isn't cleaned and oiled every time I take it into salt water, I'll find rust under the hilt and pommel.
There are different types of stainless steel. Some really are damn near rust proof and will remain shiny for decades even with exposure to salty air and sea spray.
