The blade is made of plastic. It is an amazing tool for clearing snow. It is strong and sturdy and designed so that you do not hurt your back while using it. It is best for drier, fluffier snow.

According to the box, the blade is made of glass-filled polypropylene (a dense, sturdy plastic).

I believe it to be steel since it rusts if wet and a magnet sticks to itMine has broken three times under warranty. First time the blade snapped in half, the other two times the bamboo handle broke

It's made out plastic, the blade works well. The problem is that water gets into the battery compartment and it just stops working after like 2 weeks

Partially it is steel but a large part is also plastic which needs to put on the cutting device properly or won't work. This I'm reading is quiet is for other models as this one has a more powerful motor to do the job.

Plastic, and in my opinion its dangerous to use because the action on this knife is very tight and the force needed to get it to open it enough that I've almost sliced my thumb the times I've used the thumb knob to open it.

It is steel. I use it every day. There is a rubber seal in the lid to help secure it to the base. And the handle is hard plastic.

The whisk is stainless steel but I believe the blade is metal. It's not a great product, like I said in my review, it's too difficult to clean.

The blade is made of Krupp 1.4116 steel. This is a German steel and is very easy to sharpen. The steel is stainless and requires no extra maintenance or oil.

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.

No. It is Carbon Steel. However, it does have a good blade and handles nicely.

The blades (both of them) are stainless steel as is the shaft connecting the blades to the underside rotor. All I can see, other than what I described above is plastic.

The knife is made from one piece of steel. The knife is 4mm thick or just a tiny bit over 1/8th of an inch. It tapers to a point at the front end. Very well made.

It is a carbon steel blade. You should be aware of the fact that it requires a fair amount of stropping when it first arrives and is not ready for immediate use.

Not sure what it is made of, but it was a very nice looking knife. Got it for my grandson and he was very happy with it.

It is made of steel and we are using it for the past 10 years or so. We are very satisfied with the Jar, Motor, blade etc.

The blades are not metal. I think it's possibly wood with a plastic type of covering.
