What grade is the stainless?

Sorry, I don't know the grade of SS but I am impressed as to how it has held-up in Galveston's corrosive environment over the last 9+ months. I hope that helps.

I don't know the grade of steel but it is good quality. As a large man 300+lbs there is no flex at all when I step on them. Hope that helps.

Not sure of grade ss but I give it A+. It looks great and is sturdy enough to hold without bowing or bending.

Hey Kenji, The only indication as to the type of steel on the knife (or at least the one I received) is "stainless". Honestly, it is a good quality knife; I would not say it is 420 grade quality, but if you clean it between uses it should be alright. I ordered the knife several months ago for spearfishing, and honestly it's a great knife. There is no corrosion on mine, even though it has seen salt water 15+ times. I recommend it if you are a diver or spearo. Hope that helps, Luke

18/8 and 18/10: These are the two most common grades of stainless steel used for food preparation and dining, also known as Type 304 (304 Grade) and are part of the 300 series. The first number,18, refers to the amount of chromium present and the second represents the amount of nickel. For example, 18/8 stainless steel is comprised of 18% chromium and 8% nickel.

I don't know, but I have owned it for about a month and love it. I use stainless for all my cooking having been scared by all the hype of aluminum and Alzheimer's. This pan is a good weight and the two handles make it easy to handle. The dishwasher cleans it well after a cursory scouring with a scratchy pad. I think the manufacturer specs would list the 18/10 issue question answer.

It is basically stainless--the little circle of plastic/rubber/whatever is hardly worth mentioning. I love mine and am so glad I chose to get this one over all the others. It is really, really nice and of good quality and has a sleek design which makes it easier to clean. It heats up quickly and the dial/level lights up in blue which is actually quite helpful. I am more than totally satisfied with it.

Mine says 4138 SS on the blade, which I assume means it is stainless steel. Mine is easy to sharpen on a stone though, and holds a pretty sharp edge. Great utility knife, I have even skinned a few rabbits and squirrels it.

I've had my coffee pot for 15 years and not a spot of rust anywhere. It is a good grade of stainless but I don't think it's 316. 18/8 would have shown some rust or pitting so my guess is 304 grade.

I'm not sure about the grade, type. It is a very shiny stainless, and it does leave some marks or stains from cooking even though I spray it first with cooking oil. For the price I am delighted with how it works

It is stainless & even the basket, etc. is stainless. Of course there are degrees in stainless also.

Hi Dave, Good question. It's Stainless steel. In fact, it's 304 stainless steel. Here is a quick read about 304 Stainless:Grade 304 is the standard "18/8" stainless; it is the most versatile and most widely used stainless steel, available in a wider range of products, forms and finishes than any other. It has excellent forming and welding characteristics. The balanced austenitic structure of Grade 304 enables it to be severely deep drawn without intermediate annealing, which has made this grade dominant in the manufacture of drawn stainless parts such as sinks, hollow-ware and saucepans.I hope that answers your question.Thanks!Michael WeirKitchen-Classics Hi Dave, Good question.

Yep, mine appears to be all stainless (the base is actually stamped 18/10 grade), with the exception of the brass (I believe) pressure relief fitting inside and the silicone seal/gasket between the top and bottom halves. I'm totally against aluminum for cooking, which was the main reason I selected this Cuisinox model. I've used and washed mine hundreds of times since the day I purchased it and it shows no signs of rust or corrosion. It reminds me every morning, that it is one of a very few products I own where the feeling of quality still has not worn off. I've never even replaced the silicone seal on it. Great product period.

Yes, it is 100% stainless steel. Food grade means you can use this stainless steel with food. Some stainless have additives that can not be used with food.

I believe it was actually stainless steel, but it was a gift to my dad so I'm not sure. Sorry I couldn't give a definite answer.

The details say that it's 430 SS. More info on 430 SS here: http://mightynest.com/blog/stainless-steel-all-about-food-grade-304-188-and-1810

They are solid ss. Not sure if the grade is 304. I have had them 6 months and am very happy with them.

The Best Stainless Steel Flatware GradeEither 18/10 or 18/8 flatware is best. Both are made from the same base material, grade 304 steel; 18/10 is something of a marketing trick and should not cost any more than 18/8. Grades such as 18/0 and 13/0 will have a less durable shine and less rust-resistance.
