What is the blade made of?

VERY low-end steel. I don't know why Emerson is putting their name on this.

Hey sorry for the late reply. It's a half serrated stainless steel blade. Handle is high quality material. Not sure bout the handle but it has done weight to it. Hope that helps answer your question

The blades are not metal. I think it's possibly wood with a plastic type of covering.

The entire blade is from one piece of damascus steel from tip into the bottom of the handle. I'd say the blade is approximately half a centimeter thick. The whole knife is very hefty! I am very pleased with it!

It appears to be from the blade, but who knows for sure. What I CAN say is its an incredibly sharp and durable blade for the price, so I can only assume it IS clay tempered. The hamon suggests it is too.

The blade is made of 9Cr18MoV which is similar to 440B except with a little added molybdenum and vanadium for grain refinement. It sharpens up pretty easily and takes a super keen edge. Hopefully you will get a better one than I did tho, because the first one I purchased came with a cracked blade.

I bought this a month or so ago. The only stamp on the blade is "China", and there was nothing on the package stating what it is. I'm going to make a guess and say either stainless or spring steel. It keeps an edge pretty good & feels nice in your hand.

The blade is steel along with the adjustment screw parts. The handle/case with the electronics is plastic.If it is used properly as you would use an expensive caliper or micrometer, it should last a long time.

The blade is made of A2 steel. See description link:http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002B56CUO?ie=UTF8

Yes the blade is carbon steel. If you purchase it from Excaliber Cutlery it is shave ready all it needs is to stropped.

It is made of steel and we are using it for the past 10 years or so. We are very satisfied with the Jar, Motor, blade etc.

The blade is stainless steel, but the body (where the electronics are) is ABS Plastic. It is a very well made housing that given reasonable care should last for some time, but like any precision tool, you might not want to run over it.

Steel, but I wouldn't advise buying this. With hardly a few weeks of use the blade became dull.

No, it is a hard plastic. Or something. The blade is very sharp and forged metal. Very nice. Not a toy. Handle with caution.

The blades are made of foam rubber and they don't hurt. I used mine for the first time over a very hot, humid weekend in September and it was GREAT!!! I love it!

The handle and sheeth are and the blade is made of metal but my brother thought I was sharp so he used it against a tree and broke it
