Is the scabbard stainless steel or also carbon steel?

Seeing as mine has rusted a bit from handling after neglecting to oil it, it is definitely some form of carbon steel and definitely not stainless steel.

It has the look and feel of Stainless. It is not stamped Stainless but I believe it to be.

I don't know about carbon Steel but it's really very good quality metal. i test it with my airsoft gun ( apx 400 FPS ) and mask was as new :) :) :) if know what i mean :)

The blade is stainless and the shaft also appears to be stainless. The wisk is stainless.

The carbon blade is a bit thicker but will tend to rust if not cared for properly. Stainless steel has a bit thinner blade. Stainless steel will take much more abuse without rusting, but... it is not impervious to rust if terribly mishandled. Carbon steel has been known to take a keener edge than stainless also. Hope this helps.

Yes it does. The metal pieces that protects the scabbard has actually loosened because how well the pieces fit together

The short answer is YES. The Blackbird SK-5 knife is made from 154CM steel. The carbon content is 1.05% anything over .5% is high carbon. The blade throws nice sparks off my ferro rods.

all of the timber rattler knives are 440 stainless steel. well made and very sharp right out of the box! a very good knife for the price! i would recommend this knife for anyone. carl smith

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.

According to the spec. sheet " http://www.unitedcutlery.com/Specsheets/uc2934-web.pdf " It is 1060 carbon steel. with that being said, check my review of it. I gave it 3 stars due to the lack of proper spring in the blade. it seems the manufacture quench hardened it decently but they way over tempered it to the point where it lost most of its spring.

Hey, So To answer your question, I'm pretty sure it's a high carbon steel. Cause the blade has rusted a little bit at one time, And it keeps an edge for a long time, where as stainless steel blades are the opposite, stainless steel rusts and loses an edge quite fast.But I hope this helps you.

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.

It has silver caps on both ends of the scabbard. I don't see how that matters, the site stated leather and they definably are not. One of them has even broken already (the scabbard, not the blade).

Yes the metal in the blade 420hc stainless steel I believe the 154cm is the thickness of the blade I really like it I have used one for years.for the price and quality I brought three of them you can't go wrong I use mine for deer

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.

Do not believe it is stainless; manufacturers usually promote the stainless aspect, since it is 4X more expensive. It is probably stamped carbon steel, but we have not tested for composition. Sorry.

Light weight is kind of relative. It has 'heft' like a good tool in your hand. The para cord wrap on the hilt is tight and light use so far has not loosened it. Feels like a solid grip that is not going to slip. It is marked Timber Wolf on one side and 46 TW76 Stainless Steel, Handcrafted in China, on the other. Mine came with the scabbard and two straps as shown in the picture. The first one I got came from BudK, I ordered a second one from them. Their delivery was fast.

The blade is 7Cr17 high-carbon stainless steel, but not as high carbon as 440C more like 440A. This is a good knife that is sharp enough to shave with out of the box. It will need to be resharpened after use but is a great value, in my opinion compared to 440C skinning knives.
