It is a carbon steel blade. You should be aware of the fact that it requires a fair amount of stropping when it first arrives and is not ready for immediate use.

Hi Andrea, yes, it is a carbon steel blade. In fact, here is some more information about it. I hope this helps!http://www.excaliburcutlery.com/fromm-straight-razorCheers!Cathy

It is made of stainless steel. It is softer than carbon steel. It was chosen because it, of course, does not corrode readily. If you start hitting anything much harder than styrofoam with this sword, you will put nicks, scratches, etc. on the blade.

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.

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 think steel. But not sure. It is heavy so that's why I think it us steel. Hope this helps!

I believe it's steel, but suggest you contact the manufacturer to confirm that.

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.

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.)

They company states the blade is made from "the finest American stainless steel". They do not say what hardness it is.

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 from cast steel and stainless blades, however, it is a manual unit and moves around some when in use. It would depend upon the amount of use you plan to give it

The steel is 1055 High Carbon. This is standard for Cold Steel swords & machetes. I've used this sword for 'test cutting' with my sword group generally against plastic milk containers, it cuts right thru with a smooth cut. Below is info from the Cold Steel web site. (I use gun oil on all my blades.)

The knife is made from one piece of steel. The knife is 4mm thick or just a tiny bit over 1/8th of an inch. It tapers to a point at the front end. Very well made.
