Yes, it is polycarbonate and it can withstand light impact (although I haven't actually whacked it really hard) for you to get the clashing sounds if you hit it with another Force FX lightsaber or with anything hard.

Yes I believe it is a polycarbonate just like the non-removable blade models. I would say the plastic is highly durable but the electronics inside are not so I wouldn't advise hitting this thing against anything beyond a light tap to initiate the clash sound effect

Hello. The whole thing is made of plastic, with the exception of the metal blade. It works quite well.

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.

Yes, the plastic is "Durable" as plastic could be expected to be. Relatively solid & tight. The Serrated sharpening rod is the weaker point, you should make a point to very slowly and carefully pull it out and put it back in to avoid breaking, it is not overly thick in this compact sharpener. I have used it several times without issue, I am just careful and have avoided breaking it like a few others have so far.

im not really sure. but it is a strong blade. its such a long blade that it doesnt matter how much carbon there is, it will ruin it if you bend it in the middle. but it is very thick and durable.

It is made of plastic but it is still very sturdy and not as heavy to move around as a wood one would be. It isn't so light that it will move when you are cutting though. I do generally keep a bracing hand on the table of the cutter when I am cutting but that is mainly to keep the paper from moving.

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.

Polycarbonate is not BPA free. But, polycarbonate is great stuff. Indestructible.

I'm not sure if the material of the blade but it is great to swing around; I've hit plenty things with it without any damage to the blade. The end cap though can fall off because it is secured terribly but super glue can fix that easily.

I have used it off and on for a few months and have not yet damaged it in any way. It appears to be made from fairly durable plastic. It is not bad as a very basic knife.

A kind of plastic. Very high quality. This mixer is used by professional chefs. Not the kind of plastic you'd see in a cheap blender.

Not really. It comes with a sort of plasticized paper sheath for the blade. I am using it but it seems not built yo last forever. A temporary protective measure, probably for shipping? But it has held up for several months so far.

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!

The blade and the plastic part are stamped made in Germany. It is very sturdy, so I believe it.

You said it yourself: extreme effort. I've had mixed success cutting regular mats with a Stanley knife. This is polycarbonate, much tougher. I once tried cutting a 12" star out of a polycarbonate sheet of about the same thickness. It took several hours and dulled a few blades.

Yes. One of the blades is serrated. As for how long they will stay sharp cutting through hard plastic, i dont know

The blade is made of 9Cr18MoV which is similar to 440B except with a little added molybdenum and vanadium for grain refinement. It sharpens up pretty easily and takes a super keen edge. Hopefully you will get a better one than I did tho, because the first one I purchased came with a cracked blade.
