Yes they do, all metall corrode when in contact with air, and knives, particularly ill-tended knives which are dull and rusty leave more. Depending on the amount and the type of metal ( most likely iron, as steel is the most common alloy for knives) you will most likely not be poisoned by it though. Criminal investigators may use these remnats to deduce what sort of weapon and make was used.
