Q: Can I cut bread with chocolate chunks?

I would not. Chocolate and fruits “gum up” the blades. We cut bread with cheese chunks in it but that’s about it.

Q: Do theses blades have a surface finish color similar to Stainless Steel or are they discolored?

The blades are similar in color to stainless steal. If you want to clean them before using them, I would suggest that you place them in a pan with olive oil and white vinegar = it real cleans up the metal.. I use this metho9d with all my stainless steal cooking pans and they turn ut beautiful in minutes. Be careful, the blades are extremely sharp. You won't need to sharpen them for years. Love the blades!!
