What are the grater blades made of? Are they stainless steel?

Yes, the blades are stainless steel. We've had this product for several months and it has worked perfectly.

Not recommended. The blade is stainless. Stainless steel is more fragile and brittle compared to regular medium-to-high carbon content steel.

Apparently the blades are of a slightly different formulation of metal in order to better maintain a quality cutting edge. The blades are surprisingly sharp for standard SS place settings. We love ours after about six months.

They certainly are stainless and seem to be steel. That is the best answer I can give. I do love the way they fit in the hand and are as sharp as a razor. I am very happy with them, whatever they are made of.

I haven't used them yet, so I was able to check the box they're still in, but there is no documentation. On the knives themselves, they simply say "stainless steel".

Do believe its stainless. It's really heavy duty (no bending to pressure and is still VERY sharp- careful with the knuckles--) and works like a dream. I've had mine for about a year and use it constantly for grating cheeses, fresh ginger, zesting citrus, etc. I consider it an essential kitchen tool.

JH is right on. Remember that these are not scribed, (no marks for measurements). Also, contrary to recent concerns, Grizzly assures me that they ARE made from stainless steel.

this knife is made of high carbon stainless steel blade. The handles are made from stainless steel and coated in Titanium.Please Google stuff for 3 sec before asking basic questions, Thanks

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.

I can't answer your first question, but I can answer the second. I haven't had any trouble with my blades rusting. They appear to be stainless steel.

The blades are metal though I couldn't tell you what type. The one on the end, for cutting off the tips of the beans, reminds me of a razor blade.

I measured one of them @~1/16" thick. "high carbon" and "high carbon stainless" are not the kinds of terms I would look for. These knives are VG-10 Steel, which is a high performance stainless steel- with what could be called a "high carbon" content of ~1%. The chromium (@15%) is what makes it stainless, and in this case, vanadium, molybdenum, cobalt, and manganese factor into the overall steel equation. It holds an edge remarkably well, while offering superior corrosion resistance. I put mine to a honing steel somewhat regularly, and sharpen maybe ever 3 months- but I like to maintain a shaving edge on these knives. They take the edge easily and hold on to it fantastic (using DMT diamond and then ceramic stones to polish). I have to say, I think it really depends on your own habits. These probably aren't ideal if you like to cut with more tight gripped downward pressure than a balanced slice. They're exceptional performing knives, but I think they're meant as more of a finesse instrument than a chopping tool. In my opinion, the balance and weight is great, the quality of the construction is obvious, and these are some of the best kitchen knives on the market. With fine diamond stones (I prefer DMT) and ceramic, they are very easy to maintain (a few minutes is usually all it takes to get it back to a scary shaving edge)-- but I wouldn't use them as cleavers in any sense whatsoever. If you're into finesse and slicing over brute-force chopping, I couldn't recommend these higher.

Yes they are all made from the stainless steel, but I won't recommend to buy it, because the handle is too short for that size of meat grinder. Because of that it is difficult to use it.

No, they are steel with a colored coating. They have so far been very good knives.

I am not sure if these knives are stainless steel or not. They cannot be washed in a dishwasher, they do mark up on the metal blades. The serrated blades are terrible. These are NOT good knives.

I believe it is stainless steel. It is non-magnetic. I have had mine for over a year and find it to be the best box grater that I have owned. Very sharp and far superior to the micro-plane grater (which fell apart when the plastic broke)

As far as I can tell they're stainless steel. I have used them for kebabs many times but never actually cooked a baked potato on them. They wash up easily and look as good as the day I first used them. There isn't any rust in the areas between the shank and the handle where you would usually find rust on regular steel. That said, they're the best skewers I've ever owned and they look like they'll last forever.
