What type of steel is this?

All the blade says is "8970813D1", which is not the type of metal as far as I can tell lol. I will say I have chipped the blade cutting through beer cans while camping, but for the price it's still my favorite daily carry knife.

its steel, but don't know what gauge it is, you can't pull it open if that helps. its a very solid safe, I am very happy with mine. I Hope this helps you in your findings.

We use this steel after every use, so by your definition, I would say a honing steel. When we need to get a new edge, I'll take it to a professional. Hope this helps.

It is aluminum or possibly some other lightweight steel. It's not very heavy.

I assume it is carbon, since that is what turns iron into steel. However, I don't know for sure.

Hey, So To answer your question, I'm pretty sure it's a high carbon steel. Cause the blade has rusted a little bit at one time, And it keeps an edge for a long time, where as stainless steel blades are the opposite, stainless steel rusts and loses an edge quite fast.But I hope this helps you.

I have checked my printed information that came with it and looked at it on line, but all I can find is that it is metal. No mention of the type.

Yes its stainless steel. Not sure of the quality of the steel but at this price just buy several and when one breaks, rusts, or wears out then discard it and use the next one

Its all steel. Though as my review indicated, I bought this item for only $55. I noticed that the price is way higher now. I guess it was a "steel" for me!

sorry that I cannot help. There is no indication anywhere as to what type of stainless steel this is.

Laura, I'm not sure whether or not it's made of steel, but, having used this for a few months now, I can definitively say that it is a SOLID product and way better than any of the cheaper ones I've had in the past. It's pricey, but well worth it.

It is a carbon steel blade. You should be aware of the fact that it requires a fair amount of stropping when it first arrives and is not ready for immediate use.

Some type of steel. I have 3 and all of them are good quality. I have not had any problems. Perhaps the manufacturer website will provide the specific answers to the type of metal used.

I don't know what gauge steel it is but it is a nice heavy, sturdy masher that we are very satisfied with.
