are the blades stainless steel?

I'm very sure they are, I have not noticed any corrosion, I think they are stainless steel and of good quality.

Yes - the blade is stainless steel. Although I have noticed more and more stainless steel items seem more susceptible to tiny rust spots ie. a few pocket knives from Kershaw and SOG that have spots. Luckily this is not the case with this stick blender.

I think they may be, but I can't find the information that came with the item. At any rate I haven't had any trouble with the mixer. I am very pleased w/it and use it often to puree berries to mix w/my greek yogurt. sorry I can't confirm the blades. I hope this is helpful. Good luck.

As far as I know, they are. We've used it several times and have had no problems with rust or corrosion with the blades after just rinsing them off.

Can't really say if they are forged steel or not, they are hardened stainless; however one of the blades is VERY finely serrated and the other is smooth so sharpening the one blade is an option but don't recommend sharpening the serrated blade. Since the two parts separate, sharpening the one blade is easy.

The blades are made of stainless steel. I have been using these scissors for at least a year with no problems. The blade sheath also doubles as a tool to remove any herbs left between the blades.Vern K.

Yes they are. And when you order another container for grain grinding or whatever, it contains a blade.

Mostly plastic, everything you see that's white in color is plastic. Not sure what the blades exactly are but hey do not rust.

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.

they formerly were american made... A GOOD PRODUCT,,, i have one of the imports,, i am reserving judgement on them... they must have to meet the schrade standards,, but with the stainless steel blades,, i am not sure... the blades are not as stiff an formerly a definite minus.. a thicker blade could be used better for heavy cutting.and i do prefer the highcarbon steel for taking an edge

I'm not aware of the metallic composition or properties of steel carbon vs stainless steel. I do know that the two Paderno blades that I own have stay sharp and never rust.

The blades are stainless steel. My wife grinds frozen berries every day. So far they blend better than the original blades. Aluminum would not hold up with frozen food.

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

Ever is a long time, but these blades are made out of coated stainless steel. I've used an average of one blade per 4 days for a few years and I've never experience rusting.

I haven't used them yet, so I was able to check the box they're still in, but there is no documentation. On the knives themselves, they simply say "stainless steel".

Yes. There are screws with the blades. I went to look at a new package to make sure and there are screws in the package.

Yes, they are supposed to be although on every blade I have used, one side does seem to be a bit sharper and last longer.
