What material is the blade of?

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

The opening for the beans is about 7/8" wide. Within that space are four metal blades that seem to be stainless as they didn't rust over the course of the year just sitting in my drawer.

The blades are metal though I couldn't tell you what type. The one on the end, for cutting off the tips of the beans, reminds me of a razor blade.

The size is clearly stated on the webpage. It has a metal body, with some sort of pewter-like alloy to make up the alloy and grips. The blade is metal (of course).

the blade is plastic. having shoveled snow many times with various shovels I found this the best I have used. I prefer it to my snow thrower for moderate snow falls say up to six or eight inches. Well worth the money.

this is made of a very durable plastic I believe. It works wonderfully tho and cuts thru the toughest of skin and flesh. I have used mine alot!

I don't remember, it is not a blade it is a piece of square carbide attached to a steel handle with a vinyl cover on the steel. The square edges of the carbide shave the steel off the blade edge. Hold at an angle to blade edge and stroke sides of knife edge to sharpen.

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.

It is a metal blade, aluminum. The unit has been installed for several years now with no problems. I am completely satisfied

I believe it to be steel since it rusts if wet and a magnet sticks to itMine has broken three times under warranty. First time the blade snapped in half, the other two times the bamboo handle broke

The blade is stainless steel, and the hilt seems to us to be some sort of very resilient high-end plastic (nice enough that we debated whether it's plastic or some sort of diecast metal at first).

Hello,The blade is made of 1045 high carbon steel. The blade is not sharp enough for use but the tip is sharp so be cautious. It's definitely a great showpiece.

It's plastic around the outside and some kind of metal for the blades. I don't know exactly what kind but it is not rusting if that's what you're worried about. I love those smaller bite size pieces - use it all the time. :-)

No, it is a hard plastic. Or something. The blade is very sharp and forged metal. Very nice. Not a toy. Handle with caution.

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

It is high carbon steel. Real thin, small handle, piece of junk. Look at CONDOR MACHETES if you want a good machete. You get a thick machete blade with a good handle.

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.

The handle is made out of wood, and the black thing is metal. The knife itself is very nice, but watch your fingers bro.
