Quoting [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
Belive it or not, metal has a smell. Providing your supplier has not done something you are not aware of, this is normal.
I think that they treat it with an acid wash -- that's what it would smell like.
I have a reel of uncut spiral steel boning that I've had for a while, still in the bag the shop put it in. , but it seems to have a really strong, acrid smell to it.
