What kind of metal is the blade made of? Is it with a 440A, C like so many inexpensive knives or something else?

I don't recall the Sharpfinger I have being stainless of any variety. I think mine is 1095 or a similar carbon steel I think there are Sharpfingers made with stainless, but I don't own one.

7Cr17, cheap Chinese steel, equivalent to 440A. Better off buying a quality kitchen knife made of normal steel. This knife is a joke.

The blade is 7Cr17 high-carbon stainless steel, but not as high carbon as 440C more like 440A. This is a good knife that is sharp enough to shave with out of the box. It will need to be resharpened after use but is a great value, in my opinion compared to 440C skinning knives.

I don't know what kind of steel it's made from, but it came out of the box damn near razor sharp. It's solid with a stout leather sheath. In the 1970's this knife was popular with bikers as a self defense blade, and today considered to be a less expensive option for the Filipino Pikal knife that will cost over 100$.It's legal to carry in Illinois.

The video on this product page mentions it's made of 7Cr17, comparable to 440A i think.

Hello,The blade is made of 1045 high carbon steel. The blade is not sharp enough for use but the tip is sharp so be cautious. It's definitely a great showpiece.

I'd heard it was 1045 carbon steel, but with the mirror finish and CHINA imprint along with the low price, I'm guessing there's a chance its just stainless steel. Although the blade is very thick, so I'd imagine its still fairly durable.

1095 carbon....i havent had a chance to use it much so i dont know how good the heat treat is, but i was easily able to hone a hell of a sharp edge on it, cut myself pretty bad actually lol. But because its carbon steel and much is exposed u will need to care for it so it wont rust. Or you could apply your own cold blue or force a patina if u wish.....its a really nice feeling knife tho and one of my favorites (i own quite a few expensive blades)

I know it's 4034 steel, but as for origin I am not sure. I can say I have put it through the paces and no nicks in blade and it has not lost its very very sharp edge. Also it does have a safety switch to prevent accidental opening. Lastly the blade does have 3 patent #s, not sure how many if any are for the blade itself. Hope I have helped, take care.

It's 1055 Carbon Steel, which is talked about as being one of the toughest knife/blade steels around because it's right on the border between brittle high-carbon steel and soft low-carbon steel. It holds a very good edge while basically behaving like a spring steel, meaning that no amount of mistakes or abuse will bend the blade or mess up its edge alignment. It's not a stainless steel, so like everyone says you have to keep it clean and oiled constantly or it will blemish very quickly. Source - Materials Engineer

it appears the cutting blade is made of stainless steel. the unit below which looks like a small wheel, i think it is some other material, it is a small but sturdy wheel probably some thicker type of metal.

Yes, the blade is 440 stainless steel, Which is pretty hard steel, it flips open quick with just one finger, it works very smoothly and is quite sharp, it Has a seatbelt cutter and a glass breaker. I have one of these knives and I love it, it's a great looking knife to.

The blade is of the gauge and configuration of a decent steak knife. I wouldn't split logs with it. I would not de-burr ferrous metals with it. Aluminum, maybe, but only occasionally. Mine tests at 56 R(c). Don't try to pry anything with it. It takes and holds a good edge, what one would expect from a decent pocket knife. 'Hard' use might want a beefier blade. The locking method is super secure, though, and the handle is forever, even though there is no metal liner. I like this blade, and recommend it, but it isn't for everyone, and everything. Close, though.

Yes it is. It's 1095 high carbon steel. Holds an edge extremely well. Very durable. And In my personal opinion is one of the best steels out there. It's the only type of steel ill use. ESEE provides a no questions asked life time warranty. Can't go wrong with any ESEE knife or tool.

Its a metal blade, if you aren't using mineral oil on it occasionally you'd be a fool. Even my flimsy little pocket pen knife gets a mineral oil rub occasionally.

It say it is 440 stainless. This is a really nice survival knife holds edge really well.

I think its 440, and its the same length as a full sized kabar if your familiar with them. Honestly if you plan on actually using this style knife i would invest in a kabar, as the quality of this blade is not great. Cant beat $20 for an 8 in knife tho

AUS4 has a compisition of:C - 0.4 to .45 %Mn - 1 %Cr - 13 to 14 %Ni - .49 %V - .10 to .26 %Mo - .10 to .30 %Bottom line is it's a decent, non-high carbon steel. It's marginally better than 440C, which is what most knives in this class are made of. I've been using this knife for a while now, and it's kept a very nice edge. Not perfect, but nice.
