What is the exactly steel of this knife? 1095 cro-van OR 1095 carbon-steel ?

I believe it's carbon. I've had mine now for a while and it's still my favorite.

Both actually, it's 1095 carbon steel with chromium and vanadium added for durability.

The quenched hardness that wavers between Rc 60-64 give this shallow hardening steel a tensile strength and abrasion resistance that can produce a powerful and long lasting tool. 1055 Carbon Steel does stain from acidic vegetables, brush, and foods like tomatoes. Thus, this knife has the black coating on the blade. More about 1055 Carbon steel? Please use your FREE search engine.

It's in the description. Edge Angle: 15 degrees; Steel: 1095 cro-van Needed sharpening when I got it but it holds an edge well and is a juggernaut of a bush knife.

The blade is 7Cr17 high-carbon stainless steel, but not as high carbon as 440C more like 440A. This is a good knife that is sharp enough to shave with out of the box. It will need to be resharpened after use but is a great value, in my opinion compared to 440C skinning knives.

As it turns out, no one on this post has actually stated what type of steel this is made from. The fact that it has carbon in it doesn't say much about its stain resistance. My Henckel blades are fairly stain resistent, I suspect they are 420 HC.

7Cr17, cheap Chinese steel, equivalent to 440A. Better off buying a quality kitchen knife made of normal steel. This knife is a joke.

Mine does not list the steel type, but unless you have a special run of this knife the steel is all the same.

High carbon steel with a Rockwell hardness of 57/59, hope it helps. Chef Ryan

It is a carbon steel blade. You should be aware of the fact that it requires a fair amount of stropping when it first arrives and is not ready for immediate use.

It is made in Japan. The steel is VG-10. It is not Chinese junk. This is a quality knife, and my favorite EDC. Haven't sharpened it yet.

Yes it's 1095 Carbon steel. It holds a good edge. It needs to stay oiled though.

"The knife is made with 1095 carbon steel" are the first words in the product description.

China is stamped right on the blade...but the steel is 4116 Krupp german stainless. It is an extremely sharp knife out of the box. It has not needed sharpening or had any problems since I bought it.. lightweight EDC...still recommended.
