Most these days are some kind of alloy.

All steels are alloys: Iron and other things

I would have thought all stainless steel is going to be rustproof.
That's rather the point, isn't it?

Yes. However the level of rustproofness will depend on the particular
alloy. The two common stainless steel 'types' are A2 and A4. A2 is
general purpose and is fine for most inland domestic use, A4 is more
rust resistant and is aimed at marine use and such.

Any stainless will rust in certain situations, in particular it will
often rust when touching rusting non-stainless steel.
