Are blade & the chopping plate (the round thing with the little holes that the meat comes out of) STAINLESS STEEL also? I'm looking for a 100% unit

No, they are not. You might have a better chance finding stainless cutter assemblies for a No. 10 grinder and buying them separately. Good luck!!

chopping plate and cutter appear not to be made of stainless steel - both parts are magnetic.

Despite the description, the plates and knife are not stainless. Mine immediately began rusting after I washed them and didn't hand dry them. Bizarre because on LEM's website, they only sell stainless steel plates and knifes replacements.

No, it is steel but not stainless. We love ours, but you have to understand that it builds up a dark finish that makes it look stained. Scrubbing that off is hard work and counterproductive. The finish is non stick with it, and sticky without it. It also works best on the grill, or on a stovetop that has equal size burners front and back, or even better the oval burner that runs the whole length of the pan. With unequal size burners you have to move the food around to get it to cook evenly. I have a large family and this cut the time I spend cooking bacon in half.

No. It is stainless. Yes, technically it has carbon in it (it's steel), but by the common vernacular among cutlery enthusiasts, this is "stainless" versus simple "carbon" (non-stainless). Jamal and Tom are correct.

Hi Andrea, yes, it is a carbon steel blade. In fact, here is some more information about it. I hope this helps!http://www.excaliburcutlery.com/fromm-straight-razorCheers!Cathy

I believe it is stainless steel. It is non-magnetic. I have had mine for over a year and find it to be the best box grater that I have owned. Very sharp and far superior to the micro-plane grater (which fell apart when the plastic broke)

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.

I believe all steel has carbon. This is German 4116 stainless--"Krupp". Stainless is not 100% stainless. Proper care is the best thing you can do to keep your knife in good shape, This knife should be used for what it was made for. I love mine and treat it appropriatly.

Yes, in my opinion. It's metal & plastic. But the finish may wear off, and it may lose some sharpness. At the price you could just throw it out and buy another :-) I just hand rinse mine with a bit of soap and wipe dry. This is good advice for all knives. Dishwashers are harsh on them.

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

It is a carbon steel blade, 1075 I believe and very prone to rust if not cared for properly. Mine came with some sort of clear epoxy looking coating on it, no idea if it's food safe or not, considering the country of origin, who knows what it is but my guess is thinned epoxy to prevent rust prior to initial use. I removed it with a solvent when I re-profiled the blade which in turn kind of messed up the grey powder coating above the bevel so I removed that with super fine sandpaper (2500 grit). Now it is entirely bare carbon steel, higher thinner bevel and really cuts well. I believe they are now producing a 2nd generation of this knife which is thinner, with a better F&F. The only way to know for sure is email/call Condor and ask... Condor Factory Final Calle Libertad Poniente Santa Ana El Salvador Ph.

I checked the corer and could not find stainless steel written on the blade anywhere. It has not rusted and remains sharp. I did not save the packaging to see if it said it there.l

It is listed as stainless on Amazon, and appears to be the same stainless as my 20 year old German Henkel knife. This one was marked Made in Spain. If it was ordinary carbon steel it would rust. I believe that all steel is "carbon steel" to some degree, since steel is by definition an alloy of carbon and iron, but stainless also contains chromium ( which prevents rust formation due to the surface oxide) and other metals as well, a situation fraught with misunderstanding

Mine was actually stainless steel. It has blends in it from them removing imperfections and a few dings but it is thick. I didn't measure it but it is thick and it is a big SOB. For the price get it. I have a BK9, Kabar Kukri, and many other big Blades from Cold steel to SOG. If you get one like mine you will be happy unless you expect a Corvette for the price of a Cobalt.

I am not sure what kind of steel the blade is made of. I do not get into the different kinds of steel blades are made of. I do know it is not stainless. This knife will rust if you don't take care of it. Sorry I don't have more info on your question. You could reference Schrade's web site for that info.

The blade says its stainless steel but it is magnetic so it is not a very high quality stainless. However it is sturdy and the handle has a very nice feel. It is a double bevel blade and can be sharpened with a hand held kitchen knife sharpener. Beth uses it everyday and loves it.

The forged cutting blade and the two grinder plates (medium and coarse), are stainless steel. These are the parts that benefits from the steel's durability. The rest is made of aluminum, except for the food pusher which is plastic and also is for storing the grinder plate not in use. It's all very well made.
