5160 unless you get an older one I think.by the way buy it you'll love it and will not find it anywhere close to this price.

I difer to the previous two response I just went back on GP{ Knives and they too have chnaged the steel type to 5160. So it probably depends on how old the knife is. It looks like if you buy one now you get 5160.

I'm not a metalurgist but in reading other sales offers from places like Knife Center and GP Knives I do believe it is 1095 steel (at least according to their write-ups).

Sorry, I have no idea what steel it is. I do know that it sharpens easily with a file as does a Ontario military machete.

I belive nick is right about it being 1095. I have two knives, (ka-bar) same steel, the other one point broke of the first day reshape it like a screwdriver point,

I believe these are made with 1065 or 1075 or something along those lines. so to answer your question. yes. this is made from high carbon steel

Yes it is 1095 Cro Van which is KBAR's unique type of 1095, seems about the same as any other 1095 which is all around great hard use steel.

This is for the answer given by Tim on January 9:Sorry, but the blade isn't TR65 Pakistani steel. The Pakistani steel part is correct, but the TR65 isn't a part of the steel type. It's the Timber Rattler model ID, TR65.I see this mistake often as that's the way it appears on the blade, and it's an easy mistake to make since most of us aren't metallurgists.

Mine says US Shelby on it, and it is from my Dad in WW2 1944, The design is the same, however the metal is different, mine is appears to be made from steel and the new one is made from some other kind of metal. Both items work well, my orginal P38 has severed me well as I have used it since 1950 in Boy Scouts.

The package says "Manufactured in China for Michigan Industrial Tools". I've got a few Tekton tools. All are well made and durable, a great value for the money. These are no exception. To me, they're an inexpensive / value brand you can count on.

That is the limit of the specs. If my equivalence tables are right, 22 gauge steel is about the same stiffness as .040 aluminum, so you should be okay. I'd be happy to run a sample for you, if you have the time to mail me a plate. Just PM me.

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.

This isn't really an appropriate question for this service. I've not found the quality of the steel to be dubious, but I do find the assumed inferiority of *all* Chinese products vaguely racist.A shorter blade - like that of a folding knife - doesn't need to be as strong as 1095 or D2 steel. The maintenance of such steel is prohibitive for a lower-cost blade and doesn't provide enough benefit for most users to overcome this objection. A fixed blade, however, is typically longer and has more stringent demands on it.

It would be hard and very expensive to test the metal, (sending it to a lab for a carbon assessment), but from what the sword is advertised as, and from personal experience, I would say it is untreated 1045 high carbon steel. I say "high" carbon, but 1045 is still a pretty soft steel. This isn't meant as a beater, but it still looks awesome and cuts well.

Yes it's 1095 Carbon steel. It holds a good edge. It needs to stay oiled though.
2152078
Yes it is. 1095 Rc. 57Better knife than kabar Bk2 and Ontario but it is more expensive.

100% real bro. I have been using crkt's since my dad gave me one 10 years ago. They are great kinfes. My question to you now is you've heard of there being fake ones? Cause I've probably gotten 3 or so off Amazon and they were all laggit.

I cannnot find the exact number listed. It is made of 1070 high carbon steel and that would put it at about 60.

That I am unsure of. I would suggest getting in touch with cold steel on that.
