What is the blade made with?

I have it right here. It's made with 8Cr13MoV, which I've read is a Chinese steel similar to Aus-8. Hope that helps. If you're looking for a small everyday carry, this one won't disappoint in my opinion.

The blade is made with 8Cr13MoV steel which seems to hold an edge just fine. However, I am one of those guys who wants a "scalpel like edge" on my blade and I hone it once a week - so it has never gone without attention.

The blades are made of stainless steel. I have been using these scissors for at least a year with no problems. The blade sheath also doubles as a tool to remove any herbs left between the blades.Vern K.

No. It is Carbon Steel. However, it does have a good blade and handles nicely.

the blade seems to be made of a high carbon steel that is rust proof, seeing as the point of contact between the blade and the handle is taking on some rust while the blade itself is rust free. It's still kicking ass.

It's made of Iron, however the knife did not stay in place and kept slipping causing the casing to slip while pulling. I ended up returning this item because it was to much work trying to get it to work. Amazon was great in giving me back a full refund.

I highly doubt its made out of carbon steel, especially at the price that it is. It feels like a regular stainless steel 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.

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

Although I don't see stainless steel on the blade, it appears to be. I have used it quite a few times, and it works well.

The blade says Taiwan. Whether it's made there in its entirety, or just the blade is anybody's guess. The quality is quite high, so I don't think China was involved at all.

Sorry, I have no idea. I am still using the original blade that came with the clippers.

Hello,The blade is made of 1045 high carbon steel. The blade is not sharp enough for use but the tip is sharp so be cautious. It's definitely a great showpiece.

It's made in Lynwood Washington. This is my third one. Turns out people like them. If you break a blade it's not supposed to be covered by the warranty but when I sent one in it came back brand new. They're the best ones on the market.

Mostly plastic, everything you see that's white in color is plastic. Not sure what the blades exactly are but hey do not rust.

Yes, the blade is made of Japanese stainless steel called AUS-8. This is a very good steel with superb toughness and good edge holding capabilities. This steel is also fairly easy to sharpen with great corrosion resistance. Check your local knife laws for legality as it varies greatly. It would be a fine last ditch self defense weapon because the blade is pretty good sized, and your hand locks in very well due to a deep finger choil and a blade ramp with good jimping.

I don't know what kind of steel it's made from, but it came out of the box damn near razor sharp. It's solid with a stout leather sheath. In the 1970's this knife was popular with bikers as a self defense blade, and today considered to be a less expensive option for the Filipino Pikal knife that will cost over 100$.It's legal to carry in Illinois.

The blade and the plastic part are stamped made in Germany. It is very sturdy, so I believe it.
