Are the blade really stainless steel as described in the bullet points? The blades rust and are attracted to a magnet.

Stainless steel is a magnetic metal so it should be attracted to a magnet. Unless they are very high quality stainless a small amount of rust may occur but it should be minimal. I keep mine indoors when not in use and have had no problem with rusting.

They say they are stainless steel. I've had mine about a year with no rust. I use them alot to trim weeds and grass along the outer border of my garden where the mower won't reach so they are wet alot. Stainless steel will be attracted to a magnet since it is steel.

Yes they do. The SS is non magnetic, but a magnet is strongly attracted to the rolled edge, si it must have a steel bar in there. I don't get mine wet in my use, so no rust.

I looked at the blade it doesn't say stainless steel anywhere on it like many of them do if it's stainless steel so it might be a high carbon steel blade. It's a nice lookin knife, I have yet to use it in the field and see how it handles itself. Hope this helps

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.

Blades and stud that the blades are attached to are stainless steel. The rest of the assembly is plastic. I see no difference between this product and what originally came with the Magic Bullet

It is a stainless steel, not sure of the composition. I got it for food prep, as I did not want to use a 1095 blade because of keeping a 1090 blade oiled/conditioned to prevent rust. This stainless has yet to discolor from acidic food like onions or tomatoes and such. Very happy with the blade, worth the money IMO.

No, the protective coating on the blade is there to retard rusting of the carbon steel blade. Just keep a thin film of oil on the blade and you'll have no worries.

I measured one of them @~1/16" thick. "high carbon" and "high carbon stainless" are not the kinds of terms I would look for. These knives are VG-10 Steel, which is a high performance stainless steel- with what could be called a "high carbon" content of ~1%. The chromium (@15%) is what makes it stainless, and in this case, vanadium, molybdenum, cobalt, and manganese factor into the overall steel equation. It holds an edge remarkably well, while offering superior corrosion resistance. I put mine to a honing steel somewhat regularly, and sharpen maybe ever 3 months- but I like to maintain a shaving edge on these knives. They take the edge easily and hold on to it fantastic (using DMT diamond and then ceramic stones to polish). I have to say, I think it really depends on your own habits. These probably aren't ideal if you like to cut with more tight gripped downward pressure than a balanced slice. They're exceptional performing knives, but I think they're meant as more of a finesse instrument than a chopping tool. In my opinion, the balance and weight is great, the quality of the construction is obvious, and these are some of the best kitchen knives on the market. With fine diamond stones (I prefer DMT) and ceramic, they are very easy to maintain (a few minutes is usually all it takes to get it back to a scary shaving edge)-- but I wouldn't use them as cleavers in any sense whatsoever. If you're into finesse and slicing over brute-force chopping, I couldn't recommend these higher.

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.

Apparently the blades are of a slightly different formulation of metal in order to better maintain a quality cutting edge. The blades are surprisingly sharp for standard SS place settings. We love ours after about six months.

I did not answer this right away because I was not 100% sure of the answer. I did look it up in the instructions booklet and the blade is stainless steel! It is a great tool I like mine more all the time.

The edge of the blade is D2, a wonderful tool steel, I believe and yes the edge will rust if not cared for and protected with a high coating of oil. I love this knife and the edge that D2 will hold.

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.

No, they are steel with a colored coating. They have so far been very good knives.

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.

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.

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.
