What grade of steel is it?

I'm not sure what grade of steel it is, but it is very thin and very light. I can't imagine it being useful for any sort of rugged use. It's also much smaller than the pictures suggest.

I carefully looked through the pouch and the knife, but can't see anywhere about the grade. I can only tell from my experiences that it is very solid and sharp. I bought the first one a while back and this is the second one (for my wife so she can have her own).

It is a slightly enhanced 440C steel which has Vanadium and slightly more Chromium. More importantly, it is available in Taiwan where the knife was made. It said to out perform 154CM and 440C steels. I really like this knife. It is light and very sturdy with an impressively machined Titanium handle and the blade can be made very sharp with a long lasting edge.

I'm not sure but it feels very sturdy like steel. It's very durable and nice. It was totally worth the $.

It's 440 stainless steel. Not the best and not carbon but is good against corrosion and will hold a decent edge.

Im not sure it is surgical grade but you would expect it would be low quality and trashy, it is actually a pretty good quality steel. I have had no problems with mine at all and i use it often.

I don't know. I do know that it seems like excellent high quality good weight stainless steel. I am very happy with it. It is the perfect size and very well-designed.

I don't know the gauge of the steel, but it is thick and sturdy. Maybe a touch thinner than industrial, but then again, I don't work with industrial pots & pans so I don't know for sure. It is heavier than my my set of Kirkland cookware set that I purchased ~$200, ten years ago.

The one I got is a drop-point, as pictured, and the steel is 154cm. I asked Amazon before and they said go by the title instead of the description.

I'm not really sure. I know it's strong and very sturdy. Holds an edge decently. And is definitely not likely to break If handled properly. If I had to guess I'd say either 440 stainless or something close to that

This is 304 = 18/8 stainless steel it is good for storage. The highest grade is 18/10 which is better for cooking. I found some 18/10 in the camping section that can be used for both storage and cooking.

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

Sorry, I have no idea what steel it is. I do know that it sharpens easily with a file as does a Ontario military machete.

Not sure of grade ss but I give it A+. It looks great and is sturdy enough to hold without bowing or bending.

That is a good question. I believe it's steel. Either way, it is INCREDIBLY well-built. I had low expectations given the inexpensive price, but this thing is bomb proof.

It's stainless steel, no worries. All steel is "carbon" steel, it's an alloy of carbon and iron.
