Is this a tempered steel? Or do you know the rockwell for it?

It's very high quality steel, S30V, that's found mostly in high end knives. I'm unsure of the Rockwell rating but do know that it's high. If you research the quality of knife steel you'll find that the steel used for this particular knife, S30V is getting harder to find unless you only buy high end blades. You can find more detailed information about this and other blade steel found in today's knives by looking up "Sandvik" blade steel. As a general rule when looking for another knife I've found that these three types of blade steel (154CM, 14C28N, S30V) are the best that you'll find in today's knives. I hope this helps.

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

Look it p on amazon..... their sale prices are even better than going to "rockwell tools.com" Better yet, buy the kt for 139.00 and you get most if the blades you need! and possibly buy the rasp attachment to scrape up grout,glue,and mastics'.

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."

This is the American made one. The blade isn't stamped with the steel type so we'll have to assume it's crovan.

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.)

I don't think it is steel. It is metallic, for sure, but I can't tell what kind of metal. It seems somewhat like brushed steel (maybe like "fake" stainless steel), but its weight is not compatible with steel. It is more likely a metallic alloy. But it is strong enough and we didn't have yet any damage or peeling, even using it daily.

I'm glad I received your question pertaining to both the dremel and the Rockwell. I was always dissapointed with the performance of the Dremel and the poor quality of the accessories. It lacked the power I needed and overheated to the extreme that I couldn't touch it after 10 minutes of using it. Then I bought my Rockwell. After numerous projects, it's still going strong.

i assume its 410 steel. its a fixed blade snarl, I found it hard to sharpen also

It is a carbon steel blade, 1075 I believe and very prone to rust if not cared for properly. Mine came with some sort of clear epoxy looking coating on it, no idea if it's food safe or not, considering the country of origin, who knows what it is but my guess is thinned epoxy to prevent rust prior to initial use. I removed it with a solvent when I re-profiled the blade which in turn kind of messed up the grey powder coating above the bevel so I removed that with super fine sandpaper (2500 grit). Now it is entirely bare carbon steel, higher thinner bevel and really cuts well. I believe they are now producing a 2nd generation of this knife which is thinner, with a better F&F. The only way to know for sure is email/call Condor and ask... Condor Factory Final Calle Libertad Poniente Santa Ana El Salvador Ph.

My opinion on the one sitting in my kitchen, the blade and the area (calling it the collar I suppose) that rises to the handles (and continues inside the handle) is continuous ground metal, if it is stamped its from 1/2" or so steel, I have read on one site that it is stamped, but I would call this Ground from stock, maybe forged, but maybe not. most of the knives I've seen "stamped" have thin sheet steel blades, this knife does not. its been an excellent knife either way.

I'm not a metalurgist but in reading other sales offers from places like Knife Center and GP Knives I do believe it is 1095 steel (at least according to their write-ups).
