It feels like a mid grade alloy nice weight too, its keeps a solid edge and sharpens with a little effort.

The blade is stamped Stainless. I used it as an axe on an 6-8" diameter log during a camping trip and was surprised how well it did.

It's plain raw carbon steel. You'll need to season it before you use it. Season it just like a cast iron frying pan.

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.

Steel. This is by far the best grinder I have ever seen for the money. It just might not be for you. Great deal.

This is steel. Quite heavy actually. I have used this extensively and highly recommend it. It rolls easily.

Its all steel. Though as my review indicated, I bought this item for only $55. I noticed that the price is way higher now. I guess it was a "steel" for me!

stainless steel is not a single kind of steel. it's an alloy comprised of more than one metal to create the desired characteristics of corrosion resistance. the properties of these steels can vary widely and some are magnetic.

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.

Nope, it's aluminized (a layer of shiny aluminum) over steel. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminized_steel

It is high carbon steel. Real thin, small handle, piece of junk. Look at CONDOR MACHETES if you want a good machete. You get a thick machete blade with a good handle.

Steel, not sure what grade. It has a coating on it that gives it the look of being forged in the fires of Mirror. The coating is relatively good, there is one or two places where it faded slightly more than others.

It is indeed steel. This is a superior product in function and design (appearance).

Well, I'm not entirely sure, but when it snapped in half with a very small amount of pressure it looked like carbon steel. Hope that helps.
