The blades are stainless steel but what about the screw that holds it together?

We use our blender daily, and the pin holding the blades in place has not rusted. I assume that the pin is stainless as well. Note, I don't recommend putting this in the dishwasher because the part that attaches to the blender is not stainless.

Trisha T., The blade assembly that I received did not have a screw holding the blades to the main shaft. The blade assembly was pressed together on regular cold steel. This accounts for the rusting on the end of the shaft.I also use my blender daily.

that is also made out of stainless steel. I bought the blade and it is working just fine.

The screw on top appears to be stainless as well... there was a noticeable difference in the sharpness of these new blades and my old one that i use almost daily for smoothies. Well worth the purchase.

The screw on top appears stainless as well. We use our blender daily and it is not rusted. However, the underside (side attaching to the blender is not).

I'm guessing the entire part is stainless steel. I use mine daily and have not had a problem with any part rusting. I just rinse it or give it a light scrub and let it dry on a dish rack. Hope that helps!

The blade is stainless steel, but the body (where the electronics are) is ABS Plastic. It is a very well made housing that given reasonable care should last for some time, but like any precision tool, you might not want to run over it.

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

It uses the Bosch style T-Shank blades. The blade are quick-release and do NOT need to be set in place with a screw.

mine were screw that accepted the blade ends. Took me 2 minutes to install.

the blade seems to be made of a high carbon steel that is rust proof, seeing as the point of contact between the blade and the handle is taking on some rust while the blade itself is rust free. It's still kicking ass.

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.

Plastic. They worked out pretty good for the cost, and they're holding up alright, but next time I'll just send the extra money and get the stainless blades.

The blade is stainless and the shaft also appears to be stainless. The wisk is stainless.

The blade is steel along with the adjustment screw parts. The handle/case with the electronics is plastic.If it is used properly as you would use an expensive caliper or micrometer, it should last a long time.

Hello Chris, the blade is made of 420J2 stainless steel material. Many blessings, BlizeTec

The blade is made of carbon steel - not stainless steel. Carbon steel is generally easier to sharpen and holds a better edge. The down side is that it requires one more step to finish after usage. You will need to wipe a thin application of either mineral oil or vegetable oil on it to prevent rusting. For me the trade off is worth it as I prefer carbon steel. You can renew that blade to near original look by polishing it with a very fine grade of sandpaper or emery cloth. Even a scotch brite pad will go a long way to brighten the blade. You still finish with mineral oil. Good luck, they are fine blade of the "old school" of manufacture at a reasonable price. The blade is made of carbon steel - not stainless steel.

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.

Yes, the blades are stainless steel. We've had this product for several months and it has worked perfectly.

The blades should hold up, but you might lose the screws holding them in to the head.

yes, blades are stainless steel. i don't know if it's wet/dry. i've never used it wet.

I did not try to take the blades off. I think it's probably not safe to. On the new assembly that I got, there is no screw or nut.
