KA-Bar says that the marine hunter knife blade is made from stainless steel. Is this item stainless?

I have had no issues, if you cut acidic fruits or leave it in salt water and never clean it it will rust

I'm not sure about that, this knife was sold as a SK-5 steel knife and that is the main reason I bought it. The knives like this are made from krupp stainless now which may be a good steel but I perfer the SK-5. As for your question, the Cold Steel site probably has the answer.

It is a stainless steel, not sure of the composition. I got it for food prep, as I did not want to use a 1095 blade because of keeping a 1090 blade oiled/conditioned to prevent rust. This stainless has yet to discolor from acidic food like onions or tomatoes and such. Very happy with the blade, worth the money IMO.

all I know is that it is a stainless steel. This knife sharpens well and just needs wiped off after a hard days use. Mine came extremely sharp. The handle is very comfortable in the hand also. The sheath is crap like all Mora sheaths, I made a leather one for mine. Hope this helps.

None of it is stainless, It's all made of Titanium, which is lighter in weight and will not rust. Stainless steel will rust but more slowly than regular steel. This knife is better than stainless steel.

The blade is made of three layers, with a ribbon of copper in between. The cutting edge is made of a high carbon steel which holds a very sharp edge. The outer layers are more malleable stainless steel for strength and durability. This knife can rust slightly, especially when in contact with salt water. It is a beautiful and elegant knife. I own two and carry one every day.

Not sure what it is made of, but it was a very nice looking knife. Got it for my grandson and he was very happy with it.

Yes, the entire thing is plastic except for the blade. The blade is surgical stainless steel. The handle is not ordinary plastic though... it is a type of plastic called Polypropylene. This type of plastic does not wear or weaken like others. Very good little knife! Very sharp too!

Yes it is. Nice low carbon blade that is stainless steel like and it holds the edge so far.

It is some type of stainless steel. Different than the SCHF9 which is a high carbon steel. Both well made extremely strong knives. Only down side is difficult to sharpen due to curve of the blade. Scrade just came out with a new improved model for around the same price with even better options like an included diamond stone and flin and steel. I highly recommend buying the SCHF38 instead.

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.

This Ka Bar will be stamped with USMC along with the logo and where it was produced. You don't need to feel awkward by owning it just because it says USMC. This knife was just a knife of choice by a large amount of people serving.

I believe it is stainless, the knife is quite heavy for it's small package.

Yes, it is made of AUS 8 steel which is a Japanese stainless steel. See http://www.midwayusa.com/technicalnotes/application_pages/knife_steel_and_handle_material_chart.htm .Check your State and local laws regarding legality.

Yes it is a real 404 stainless steel blade... It is not sharp but can hold an edge if sharpened. The handle is made of plastic. The top cap of the handle is made of aluminum. The face of the sword is also made of aluminum. And the... "wings" on each side are made of plastic. It's not something you'd want to swing around. It's meant for decoration.
