I would like to know if the blades are made of stainless steel.

yes the are, so far I love it and see a big difference in the meats i use it on!

As far as I know, they are. We've used it several times and have had no problems with rust or corrosion with the blades after just rinsing them off.

They are not titanium blades, they are titanium coated (probably titanium carbon nitride or titanium aluminium nitride). If they are decent stainless underneath they should not rust.

Yes, the blades are slightly curved, surgical grade stainless steel and VERY sharp. It doesn't come with the serrated blades.

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.

Although I don't see stainless steel on the blade, it appears to be. I have used it quite a few times, and it works well.

it appears the cutting blade is made of stainless steel. the unit below which looks like a small wheel, i think it is some other material, it is a small but sturdy wheel probably some thicker type of metal.

Yes, the blade is made of Japanese stainless steel called AUS-8. This is a very good steel with superb toughness and good edge holding capabilities. This steel is also fairly easy to sharpen with great corrosion resistance. Check your local knife laws for legality as it varies greatly. It would be a fine last ditch self defense weapon because the blade is pretty good sized, and your hand locks in very well due to a deep finger choil and a blade ramp with good jimping.

Don't know. Lowe's Home improvement stores might know. They are sold in some of them, and my local store stupidly stopped. The blades are TERRIFIC.

It is probably high carbon steel the metal revolution in steel blades begun in the 80 with the introduction of some blades oriented alloys like 440 and 420 family of steel so this make me think you have high carbon steel or a low end stainless steel (by today standard)

I think so. They seems to be really solid and I don't think the blades are getting rusty using the dishwasher or not drying them.

The blade is stainless steel, but the body (where the electronics are) is ABS Plastic. It is a very well made housing that given reasonable care should last for some time, but like any precision tool, you might not want to run over it.

Elizabeth... I have no idea what the blade is made of but can tell you that my son has one as do I ... both of us use it almost daily for over two years and I have only sharpened min once... it's very sharp and it holds it's edge quite well!

I'm not positive, but upon examining them, they seem like they're stainless. They are holding up well under use.

As far as I can tell there is no metal in the blades. It appears that way in the photos because of the way the light is shining on them. I took mine out and looked at them and the blades are entirely the black ceramic color. Hope this helps : )

I don't know but stainless steel is a lot harder than the metal used to form furnace ducts. I would worry it might damage the blades.

Apparently the blades are of a slightly different formulation of metal in order to better maintain a quality cutting edge. The blades are surprisingly sharp for standard SS place settings. We love ours after about six months.
