I wanted to make sure that the blades are made from carbon steel?

The blades on the one I recieved were Chrome Vanadium otherwise they will be surgical stainless steel

Yes, they are carbon steel. The CV stands for chrome-vanadium which is just the additional metals alloyed into the steel.

Carbon blades do rust easily. You can prevent it by either maintaining oil on them. Something edible if you'll be cutting food. And by keeping them dry. Or you can put a petina on the metal. There are a ton of YouTube videos on this. I'd recommend Dave Canterburys video on the subject. It's quite easy to follow.

Yes it is. Nice low carbon blade that is stainless steel like and it holds the edge so far.

Carbon steel can rust, esp. the edge. Clean and dry after use and protect blade with Sentry Tuff cloth or any good rust protectant you like.

They are stainless steel, but have not counted the blades, but seems close. Whatever the number, it does a great job.

Wished I could help you here but I've only sharpened high carbon or high carbon stainless steel blades. Sorry.

The sword is supposed to have a lot of carbon content in the steel. I always put a light coat of oil on mine when I'm not using it to keep it from rusting.

I believe all steel has carbon. This is German 4116 stainless--"Krupp". Stainless is not 100% stainless. Proper care is the best thing you can do to keep your knife in good shape, This knife should be used for what it was made for. I love mine and treat it appropriatly.

yes, blades are stainless steel. i don't know if it's wet/dry. i've never used it wet.

No, this is good quality steel and the blades retain a very good edge. I use this set process deer, squirell, and rabbit. The blades never fail to impress me.

From What I can see when I look at mine I don't believe so. It certainly doesn't sound like it has metal collection blades.

Don't know. Lowe's Home improvement stores might know. They are sold in some of them, and my local store stupidly stopped. The blades are TERRIFIC.

A quick search showed that it was made with this Blade Steel: High Carbon Steel, 59-60HRC.

Without a doubt...Blade and handle liner is a 440C Stainless which is approx. 80% iron; .95-1.2% Carbon; etc. - This is a high carbon martensitic stainless steel, with moderate corrosion resistance good strength and the ability to obtain and keep excellent hardness (Rc 60) and wear resistance...great for knives (when heat-treated properly.) Bottom line is, steel is a ferrous metal because of its iron content (around 80% in this case), and as such, would easily be noticed by any metal detector. Magnets are only attracted by ferrous metals...try it with a neodymium magnet and it will attach itself in a heartbeat and give a pretty decent fight to remove it from the blade.

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

No, blades are constructed from MDF,( medium density fibreboard) painted white, then coated with laquer.

Elizabeth... I have no idea what the blade is made of but can tell you that my son has one as do I ... both of us use it almost daily for over two years and I have only sharpened min once... it's very sharp and it holds it's edge quite well!
