Thank you for asking this question. I was trying to figure out how to test the material and you found the answer. So if its not steel, what is it? Aluminum blend I guess.

Yes its stainless steel. Not sure of the quality of the steel but at this price just buy several and when one breaks, rusts, or wears out then discard it and use the next one

Partially it is steel but a large part is also plastic which needs to put on the cutting device properly or won't work. This I'm reading is quiet is for other models as this one has a more powerful motor to do the job.

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.

No idea what type of steel. Worked just fine for replacement springs on utility trailer. Fulfilled my needs perfectly.

Honestly, I believe it is steel of some sort because it is quite heavy. We used this chair all summer and it looks brand new. People fight over this chair! Also, this chair has no problem holding weight -

Sorry, I have no idea what steel it is. I do know that it sharpens easily with a file as does a Ontario military machete.

sorry that I cannot help. There is no indication anywhere as to what type of stainless steel this is.

no, I'm not sure what kind of steel it's made of but it is extremely pitted and just about the poorest workmanship I have ever seen. I work as a machinist and I would be embarrassed to say that I made this shavette. the handle is cheap plastic with sharp edges

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

its steel, but don't know what gauge it is, you can't pull it open if that helps. its a very solid safe, I am very happy with mine. I Hope this helps you in your findings.

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.
