Are these knives 8Cr18MoV or some other type of steel? If so, what kind of steel is this?

High carbon steel with a Rockwell hardness of 57/59, hope it helps. Chef Ryan

High carbon stainless. That's the best answer I can give you. Hope its helpful!

They don't give the steel, but on it's website it says "Hardness 53 (±1) HRC"

The knives that I bought come from Korea r Japan and they are not made of any kind of steel. They are purely ceramic and they cut very well and don't need any sharpening.

I actually don't know what type of steel these are made from. They are swiss made and they are the favorite knife of Cooks illustrated/ America Test Kitchen. That is why I bought one, and I am very happy with it.There are other responders to my comments and they say it is stainless steel. Someone else says it is high carbon stainless steel with a 15 degree angle. Another said it is a Victornox and they are the worlds best knife maker. So NOW I'M really glad I bought one.

Hi Pants, the blade states 'TW117 Stainless Steel Handcrafted in China' nowhere does it mention Sheffield. However, this does not detract from the pure awesomeness of this little penknife. It's made of steel and it appears to be quite a good quality, sturdy little thing. (Maybe i'm biased though as i'm like a magpie when it comes to shiny, oily objects.)

It is a sharping steel, but I have no idea what numbers are for hardness? It is not diamond coated.

I didn't buy this kind; I purchased all chrome knives - blade and handle. I will buy this set next for myself. Good luck.

It's from china, I believe it's under close supervision by spyderco.. They just did this to cut cost. I have no complaints with the steel. It's been my beater knife ever since and I'm satisfied with it.

6034 steel. Wonderful knife. I have a buddy who is a Emerson only enthusiast and he just bought two of these knifes after seeing mine.

Are you asking if the blades are stainless steel? If so the answer is there is the title description. They are stainless steel and are excellent quality.

Yes, they are made in China, the steel is 7Cr17Mov, which is the Chinese equivalent to AISI 440A One of the better Chinese Steels, but remember, this isn't a $400 knife, it's a $20 knife.

It's very high quality steel, S30V, that's found mostly in high end knives. I'm unsure of the Rockwell rating but do know that it's high. If you research the quality of knife steel you'll find that the steel used for this particular knife, S30V is getting harder to find unless you only buy high end blades. You can find more detailed information about this and other blade steel found in today's knives by looking up "Sandvik" blade steel. As a general rule when looking for another knife I've found that these three types of blade steel (154CM, 14C28N, S30V) are the best that you'll find in today's knives. I hope this helps.

The original group of knives were made in USA and had different steel than the current batch. The ones being sold now are china made with China steel.

I am sorry but I do not know which knife you are referring to, but they are excellent knives and would recommend them.

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.

They do not say stainless anywhere on them. I can't believe I didn't check that when I bought them. They are not the fantastic steak knives I thought I was purchasing.

I believe the steel is from japan an the knife is manufactured in sweden. It is a solid knife. Similar to spyderco who commission steel from japan, like everything there are different qualities no matter where it might, or might not come from.

Hi, not sure but based on other knives it appears to be a model number. Randi

I really don't know. This is the 1st set of quality knives I have ever purchased. I am thrilled with them, and regret not spending the money sooner. But I am not knowledgeable about knives and I made my purchase decision based on reviews and online research.
