which metal is used for this knife?

i wish i could answer more intelligently about your question, I have several knives, a glock knife, a smaller gerber survival knife, and some other odds and ends. this knife by far meets above standard sharpness. I didn't think I would like the serrated part on the blade until I used it to cut something requiring strength. It exceeded my expectations. The knife is larger than I thought it would be, but given the situations of why I purchased it in the first place "survival preparedness" I think it is going to work out great.

No need to use a steel. Does not remove any significant metal from blade. Sharpened knives last 3-4 weeks, at least.

Its a metal blade, if you aren't using mineral oil on it occasionally you'd be a fool. Even my flimsy little pocket pen knife gets a mineral oil rub occasionally.

Chinese Stainless Steel, which goes through the handle. Needed to be sharpened out of the box, the handle slips out of your hands easily, and is a bit uncomfortable...looks menacing, in and out of the sheath.

The whole body is metal, I don't know if its steel, This is a very nice little care for the money and very good quality, I would purchase it again.

The Ka-Bar website gives it as 420 Stainless Steel. I wouldn't worry too much about the alloys, the decent knife-makers all use good steels, and the heat-treatment is equally important. It takes (and holds) a shaving edge!

i dont know, it's a Chinese steel. very tough . i would buy it again. unless you live in a area that gets down past -10. then the blade might chip. but for the rest of us it's a awesome knife.

Hi, for the obvious Safety Police reasons this sort of question falls out of the scope of valuable answers.For cutting metal you should use a blade that is made for that purpose. They are not expensive.

It is plastic, but it's a much stronger plastic. it is very durable and doesn't effect the overall effectiveness of the knife.

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.

The arm is metal, and the cutting blade is stainless steel, which can be replaced when necessary! Just remove the three screws and you've got!

If you go to the sog website, all the answers are there. From the site, BLADE STEEL TYPE9CR18MOV. Pictured is the knife. One piece, solid steel. Hope that helps.

I'm sorry to say that I can't answer your question. I bought the knife for the speed safe opener. I have big hands and it makes opening a smaller knife easier. I don't know about the metals used or what they mean. It does hold an edge fairly well. The blade says made in China on it , if that helps .
