The steel is 1055 High Carbon. This is standard for Cold Steel swords & machetes. I've used this sword for 'test cutting' with my sword group generally against plastic milk containers, it cuts right thru with a smooth cut. Below is info from the Cold Steel web site.

It's 1055 Carbon Steel, which is talked about as being one of the toughest knife/blade steels around because it's right on the border between brittle high-carbon steel and soft low-carbon steel. It holds a very good edge while basically behaving like a spring steel, meaning that no amount of mistakes or abuse will bend the blade or mess up its edge alignment. It's not a stainless steel, so like everyone says you have to keep it clean and oiled constantly or it will blemish very quickly. Source - Materials Engineer

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.

Honestly, I believe it is steel of some sort because it is quite heavy. We used this chair all summer and it looks brand new. People fight over this chair! Also, this chair has no problem holding weight -

It's a premium steel, probably a little better than S30V or AG10. Not as good as M4 or M390. I concur about the knife. The detente is quite strong and you have to get used to it without putting pressure on the knife frame, but after it breaks in it's pretty sure-fire.

I would think so. There is no coating over the steel and steel can be heated I believe. Beware it will be hot to handle.

This is a steel version. However, the cooling effect as we thought did not last long Less frequently used. Please Note

Steel not any fancy steel either it isn't hardened nor is it coated steel but ill tell ya I left one outside over night and it didn't rust. So they aren't so bad.

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.

There is no available information regarding the 'grade' of the stainless steel used. Neither the information provided by Amazon or the information contained within the very brief booklet which accompanied the product. It APPEARS to be a quality stainless. It is produced by a quality manufacturer. The purchase price suggests it is quality. I personally like it. Best yet, it is recommended as a 'Best Buy' by America's Test Kitchen. They test everything about a product. If it's a Best Buy from them, it is quality. However, I understand your sense of caution.

It is plain carbon steel. It needs to be seasoned (rub with oil and heat) before use. I am sure it works well over a gas flame.

Stamped steel. A grill at this price is not going to have cast aluminum or stainless steel.

As others have mentioned, the exact grade of the steel isn't listed anywhere. Given the reasonable price point for this, I doubt it would be anything fancier than a 440 variant or similar. But it must be tempered very well because it definitely holds its edge.

Is some sort of sheet steel and it seems to be durable although I agree with some of the YouTube videos that I've seen you will need to purchase and apply high heat paint to it like in refitting a grill but it will and can serve for number of years. I have used one on several occasions now I would not apply the high heat paint until after the initial paint from the factory wears or burns off. Then clean and sand it then apply paint. Upkeep on this is a part of outdoor kit is necessary to prolong use in life of the stove. I have enjoyed this very much since my purchase.

I don't think it is steel. It is metallic, for sure, but I can't tell what kind of metal. It seems somewhat like brushed steel (maybe like "fake" stainless steel), but its weight is not compatible with steel. It is more likely a metallic alloy. But it is strong enough and we didn't have yet any damage or peeling, even using it daily.

I have not tried it but the quality of steel is really good and strong. Worst case scenario could be two things - it may get blackened or crack.
