what are the blades made from???

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.

Carbon steel. Make sure you dry it off after getting it wet or it'll rust on you. And hit it with some mineral oil every now and again

In one of the Gerber videos it implies all their blades are made in Oregon. I guess not ALL of them, then...

They are made in China but don,t let that throw you.I honed and polished them before use.They held an edge and performed well..They are tool steel of some kind.Quite hard.

All of these blades are made from hardened steel and should not bend unless you hit a hardened object such as a tree stump of a piece of metal. There are only two types of blades made. One is a regular blade which has less cutting area on the blade and the other is a mulching blade which has more cutting area. This blade is a mulching blade. They will normally last for two or three seasons unless you are mowing commercially. There should not be any difference in the thickness of the blades. The main cause for blade wear is cutting too low in sandy areas. The sand acts as an abrasive and shortens the life of the blade. I have been repairing mowers for approximately 55 years.

I did not answer this right away because I was not 100% sure of the answer. I did look it up in the instructions booklet and the blade is stainless steel! It is a great tool I like mine more all the time.

Not really sure. They're not bad blades, but maybe a bit pricey. If you're a new-comer, I'd recommend a sampler pack to find what's best for you.

I also don't know. I read once that the replacement blades are under a different maker, I just don't remember. Sorry

Anyone have any idea of the metal allows used in the unit? Of course you don't mind so much what the main shaft is made up, but I'm curious what the blade itself is make of..

The packaging may have changed. The Blades I am using appear exactly as the picture. They where purchased early in 2014. I would suggest contacting the manufacture http://www.personna.com/ Send them a picture of what you have received. They will be able to identify if it is there product. Sincerely, TG

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.

Sorry I didn't keep them as someone had dropped them before shipping and bent the end of the blades. Seems like very soft metal. They are connected via magnets. I'm not sure how they would be used as a staff?

No. These are just spare blades. As a side note... I am not impressed with these blades. I end up looking like I gave blood every AM. The package says they are "Made in Poland"!!! I expected a better product from Gillette but can not find them at my local stores so I ordered them. Give them a try. Maybe you will do better...RSP

The piece that holds the blades together is metal. he blue plastic part simply covers the top of the "screw" that holds them together. They com apart easily and go back together easily and so far are very durable.

Blades are metal.. This fan is awesome, I haven't had a need to turn it past low... Medium and high put out a HUGE amount of air displacement.. Great buy all around.
