What is the blade material?

From the ColdSteel webpage: "Carpenters CTS® XHP Alloy w/ DLC Coating"--Hmm, looking below, I see others found it may also be Aus 8A. I guess there's a chance of both. Either way it's a fantastic blade.

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

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.

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

The blade is made of three layers, with a ribbon of copper in between. The cutting edge is made of a high carbon steel which holds a very sharp edge. The outer layers are more malleable stainless steel for strength and durability. This knife can rust slightly, especially when in contact with salt water. It is a beautiful and elegant knife. I own two and carry one every day.

It's made of plastic with metal cutting blades... Be careful though as there is some false advertising so make sure it actually does you want. Read my review for details.

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.

Metal, and in my opinion, not a bad knife but you might want to remove the glass cutter pin if you don't want it to damage your clothing when you carry it or get a knife holder.

I don't know the material the handle has in it. Probably rubber. I like it and it grips well when wet. It comes razor sharp and is very light.

Yes it is a real 404 stainless steel blade... It is not sharp but can hold an edge if sharpened. The handle is made of plastic. The top cap of the handle is made of aluminum. The face of the sword is also made of aluminum. And the... "wings" on each side are made of plastic. It's not something you'd want to swing around. It's meant for decoration.

The sword blade is a firm, but somewhat flexible foam, while the handle is made similar to the material of a boogie board. Hope that helps.

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.

The blade is, indeed, stainless steel. The ceramic is between the head that attaches to the clipper and the blade. That's what helps keep the blade cooler during operation than blades without the ceramic "guard". Hopes this helps.

The blade is made of A2 steel. See description link:http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002B56CUO?ie=UTF8

Metal. I used this stringer almost weekly for at least a year. The blade has held up beautifully.

it appears the cutting blade is made of stainless steel. the unit below which looks like a small wheel, i think it is some other material, it is a small but sturdy wheel probably some thicker type of metal.
