It is stainless but I don't know the metalurgy. Cooks Illustrated rates it as their favorite and I love it. Comes super sharp.

I actually don't know what type of steel these are made from. They are swiss made and they are the favorite knife of Cooks illustrated/ America Test Kitchen. That is why I bought one, and I am very happy with it.There are other responders to my comments and they say it is stainless steel. Someone else says it is high carbon stainless steel with a 15 degree angle. Another said it is a Victornox and they are the worlds best knife maker. So NOW I'M really glad I bought one.

Yes, they are made in China, the steel is 7Cr17Mov, which is the Chinese equivalent to AISI 440A One of the better Chinese Steels, but remember, this isn't a $400 knife, it's a $20 knife.

I don't know, it was a gift for my daughter. Functions, they looked to be what are in the usual knife sets. Sorry I can't be more help.

According to their website, saberknives.com, they are located in California. Their knives are made of German forged steel that is assembled in China. I can attest to their quality compared to Henckel's and Wusthof's. They are not the best in the world but they are the best for their price. I bought them to round out my knife blocks and I use them daily with no complaints.

I believe all the knives in this set are forged. They all look like the steak knives. As to where these were made, have no clue anymore, threw the packaging away when I decided to keep the knives. They are really good knives, no matter where they were made.

The literature says they are made in Switzerland, though it's possible the raw plastic for the handles comes from elsewhere. Doesn't matter anyway, you'll love these knives.

No, they are steel with a colored coating. They have so far been very good knives.

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

There is nothing on the knives that indicate where they are made. The product description does mention that they are hand finished in Switzerland. All I can say is they are very sharp and probably the best steak knives for the price.

They are not steel... it's more like a pressed board material that is very durable. I really like mine.

They appear to be steel and fairly well made but be prepared to do a little sharpening!

I bought this a month or so ago. The only stamp on the blade is "China", and there was nothing on the package stating what it is. I'm going to make a guess and say either stainless or spring steel. It keeps an edge pretty good & feels nice in your hand.

they formerly were american made... A GOOD PRODUCT,,, i have one of the imports,, i am reserving judgement on them... they must have to meet the schrade standards,, but with the stainless steel blades,, i am not sure... the blades are not as stiff an formerly a definite minus.. a thicker blade could be used better for heavy cutting.and i do prefer the highcarbon steel for taking an edge

It says on the knife made in China. I've had mine for almost a year and they are well made. The only issue is you have to hand wash and dry. If ran thru the dishwasher they start to have small rust spots on them. Other than that great set of knives.

It is a slightly enhanced 440C steel which has Vanadium and slightly more Chromium. More importantly, it is available in Taiwan where the knife was made. It said to out perform 154CM and 440C steels. I really like this knife. It is light and very sturdy with an impressively machined Titanium handle and the blade can be made very sharp with a long lasting edge.

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.

"Cold Steel" is the maker. Kobun is the name for this particular line of tanto knife. They have others.
