what kind of steel is the blade made of, specifically?

Derek, It says carbon steel (not stainless). It is very high quality. Hope this helps. Ron

Not sure, but for the money it's a decent machete. It is just paracord wrapped around the handle, and a nylon sheath. I plan on making a wooden handle for mine. Good for carrying on the ATV without worrying about it getting banged around. I would say it's just hardened steel.

It is made of plastic, but don't let that fool you. It is very durable and does not feel light weight with the blade.

No. It is Carbon Steel. However, it does have a good blade and handles nicely.

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 is a real stainless steel blade. The blade is not sharpened so it doesn't have a sharp edge. The hilt is plastic and it feels like it is meant to be a decorative sword and not a functional one. Hope that helps!

The blade is steel along with the adjustment screw parts. The handle/case with the electronics is plastic.If it is used properly as you would use an expensive caliper or micrometer, it should last a long time.

steel. this is a quality tool. It is identical to the Oregon one that costs twice as much.

Mine does not list the steel type, but unless you have a special run of this knife the steel is all the same.

They company states the blade is made from "the finest American stainless steel". They do not say what hardness it is.

I'd heard it was 1045 carbon steel, but with the mirror finish and CHINA imprint along with the low price, I'm guessing there's a chance its just stainless steel. Although the blade is very thick, so I'd imagine its still fairly durable.

"High Density Chromium Cobalt Carbon Vanadium Stainless Steel Blade" &lt;&lt;&lt;&lt; from the description. Definitely Stainless Steel

Hello, The blade is made of 1045 high carbon steel. The blade is not sharp enough for use but the tip is sharp so be cautious. It's definitely a great showpiece.

Nope, it's a fixed blade, solid 5160 steel. It weighs a ton. I love mine though, and the sheath is workable.

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 did not answer this right away because I was not 100% sure of the answer. I did look it up in the instructions booklet and the blade is stainless steel! It is a great tool I like mine more all the time.

It is a sharping steel, but I have no idea what numbers are for hardness? It is not diamond coated.
