I am not sure about the balde, but I enthusiastically LOVE this sharpener and as an artist, I have them in several rooms in m house, studio and office. Can't go wrong.

The blades are made of stainless steel. I have been using these scissors for at least a year with no problems. The blade sheath also doubles as a tool to remove any herbs left between the blades.Vern K.

They company states the blade is made from "the finest American stainless steel". They do not say what hardness it is.

It's a carbon steel blade. In general it's a good idea to clean and oil *any* carbon steel blade after use.

I am not sure what kind of steel the blade is made of. I do not get into the different kinds of steel blades are made of. I do know it is not stainless. This knife will rust if you don't take care of it. Sorry I don't have more info on your question. You could reference Schrade's web site for that info.

It's a high carbon blade. Clean it with steel wool and keep lightly covered with cooking oil.

Its a stainless steel blade.... I think its very good quality. I actually sent the knife info to a friend before I ordered it with the same question. He assured me it can be sharpened easily. (he manages a weapons shop). It is very easy to use & will last a very long time. I have actually ordered several more since the first one.

I believe the steel is from japan an the knife is manufactured in sweden. It is a solid knife. Similar to spyderco who commission steel from japan, like everything there are different qualities no matter where it might, or might not come from.

no, I'm not sure what kind of steel it's made of but it is extremely pitted and just about the poorest workmanship I have ever seen. I work as a machinist and I would be embarrassed to say that I made this shavette. the handle is cheap plastic with sharp edges

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.

The handle and sheeth are and the blade is made of metal but my brother thought I was sharp so he used it against a tree and broke it

The blade is made with 8Cr13MoV steel which seems to hold an edge just fine. However, I am one of those guys who wants a "scalpel like edge" on my blade and I hone it once a week - so it has never gone without attention.

Anyone have any idea of the metal allows used in the unit? Of course you don't mind so much what the main shaft is made up, but I'm curious what the blade itself is make of..

I'd heard it was 1045 carbon steel, but with the mirror finish and CHINA imprint along with the low price, I'm guessing there's a chance its just stainless steel. Although the blade is very thick, so I'd imagine its still fairly durable.
