Are there any parts on the knife that are not stainless steel?

99% is steel, the part that you push to launch the blade up seems to be a plastic

not completely sure, it is all metal and depending on how much you are paying ( I paid £7.00 ) it is well worth it

There is no way for me to be 100 % certain. I have other knifes that are imitation (acid etched) and the pattern does not match at the transitions (side to back of blade). I would say that it likely is. The two different colors in the pattern rust at different rates when the oil runs dry. The pattern follows from one edge to the next and from one side of the blade to the next. In any case, the knife is what I was looking for... Good looking, takes and keeps and edge, and functional.

It's high-carbon stainless steel. To prolong it's life, it would be best to sharpen this knife with a ceramic sharpener. But I used a manual hand held one. The choice is up to you.

I'm not sure the knife does not have a made in label but it is very well made.

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

Can't validate for sure, but it does have a "Stainless" engraving on the blade. Also "China".

The knives that I bought come from Korea r Japan and they are not made of any kind of steel. They are purely ceramic and they cut very well and don't need any sharpening.

The Ka-Bar website gives it as 420 Stainless Steel. I wouldn't worry too much about the alloys, the decent knife-makers all use good steels, and the heat-treatment is equally important. It takes (and holds) a shaving edge!

NO--stainless steel is NOT the type of metal that will hold up. You need a carbon steel blade.

all I know is that it is a stainless steel. This knife sharpens well and just needs wiped off after a hard days use. Mine came extremely sharp. The handle is very comfortable in the hand also. The sheath is crap like all Mora sheaths, I made a leather one for mine. Hope this helps.

Not to my knowledge. The inside and lid are all (or at least seem to be) stainless steel.

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

The edge of the blade is stainless to begin with. If you're not careful you could take the color off higher up.

The blade says its stainless steel but it is magnetic so it is not a very high quality stainless. However it is sturdy and the handle has a very nice feel. It is a double bevel blade and can be sharpened with a hand held kitchen knife sharpener. Beth uses it everyday and loves it.

The outer casing and blades are all stainless. The upper part is stainless except for the grip. It is very heavy duty.

the blade appears to be stainless, but as I only used mine for a week I can't say how long it will hold up. I've had cheap stainless tools that have rusted with exposure to the salt water, and I've had higher-quality tools (e.g. Myerchin) strapped to the mast all year without showing any corrosion.

It is hard to tell so I guess I would have to say no. It would be best to contact Rada Cutlery Company - they are in the USAI have several pieces of theirs and really like the quality of the knives plus they retain their sharp cutting edge. A friend told me about them several years ago - the knives are better than my top quality (expensive) ones
