Here is an answer from the company itself: "Our tools are manufactured from 1055 carbon steel, special bar quality, and heat treated to ASME safety requirements, which is 45-60 Rockwell standard."

I cannot answer that, it is a very good hatchet and keeps a edge very well, as with any Estwing product, it is made to last.You may want to contact Estwing as to the grade of steel they use.

They are German steel. I'm not sure where the country of origin is. They are the same kind I used when I lived in Berlin. Excellent quality and very sharp.

I believe it's steel. I use for reptiles so I didn't have to worry about any water issues.

Its made of 420 stainless. Hold an edge like you would believe. I also have the SOG tomohawk. It is great for the second Axe. It does with a!quick release sheath. Check it out, they complent each other.

it is made out of very heavy steel. It is well worth the money as it does a fantastic job. We use it to crack hickory nuts and it even does the hard shell ones.Even though it is made "heavy" it is very easy to use and cracks the hard shells with little exertion.

Not sure what it is made of, but it was a very nice looking knife. Got it for my grandson and he was very happy with it.

It is steel, very strong, love it. Put a pillow on it in the yard and laid down to read a book. Very comfortable for an outside swing. We took apart some of it and brought it in the basement for the winter, so it will last longer.

I believe it to be steel since it rusts if wet and a magnet sticks to itMine has broken three times under warranty. First time the blade snapped in half, the other two times the bamboo handle broke

Its Damascus steel. Comes from Syria one of the oldest steels used for swords. At leats thats what it says.

It is aluminum or possibly some other lightweight steel. It's not very heavy.

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.

Its all steel. Though as my review indicated, I bought this item for only $55. I noticed that the price is way higher now. I guess it was a "steel" for me!
