is this surgical grade stainless?

I couldn't say definitely if it is but the stainless steel is definitely corrosion resistant. Been using it for over a year with no signs of rust

Only the blade side.. i think the handle is plastic but has really good balance. Worth it

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 don't think it's stainless, but it is much heavier than the previous model. I am still happy with mine after nearly a year.

Stainless Steel is Stainless Steel There is no grade...but even if there were...what would you know or have to compare it to? Nothing! If anything is graded it might be the thickness of the steel...but again, you have nothing to compare it to.

Hi Dave, Good question. It's Stainless steel. In fact, it's 304 stainless steel. Here is a quick read about 304 Stainless: Grade 304 is the standard "18/8" stainless; it is the most versatile and most widely used stainless steel, available in a wider range of products, forms and finishes than any other. It has excellent forming and welding characteristics. The balanced austenitic structure of Grade 304 enables it to be severely deep drawn without intermediate annealing, which has made this grade dominant in the manufacture of drawn stainless parts such as sinks, hollow-ware and saucepans. I hope that answers your question. Thanks! Michael Weir Kitchen-Classics

Michigan Reader is correct. This bracelet is high quality 316 surgical grade stainless steel resists corrosion and wear, is hypo-allergenic, and nickel, lead & cadmium-free. If you have any further questions, please let me know. All the best, Donna Chapin Customer Service Lead The Knights Treasure

I couldn't find any information in my booklet that mentioned magnetic-attracting stainless. What I did find is that this cookware is 304 surgical stainless steel. It says that stainless steel is a family of iron-base alloys made up of more than 50 different compositions, and that they are the elite of the world of commonly used alloys. Each member of this family has one thing in common: it contains at least 11-12% chromium. The 304 surgical stainless steel contains about 18% chromium and 8% nickel in addition to the iron. These are direct quotes from the instruction book for waterless cooking. I know this isn't what you asked, but it does tell what the nickel content is. I hope this helps.

Yes it is. It is made out of the same plastic that is used in food safe containers. I'm not sure about hospital-grade but it is made of very resilient plastic to guard against break down.

I don't know if it is stainless, but mine has not shown any rust. For me, it was well worth the money.

I'm in medicine and would say yes this is surgical steel. Doesn't irritate my nose all, and I pierced mine myself. Lol

I don't see it marked stainless steel anywhere but they seem to be. I am enjoying mine. No problems with rust so far.

I don't know, and I am un-aware of such a rating. I thought all stainless steel would serve safely for food or water.

No, it is not stainless steel, it is a plastic housing that is painted a metallic grey. Looks fine and works great for me, I am very happy with it.

Yep, mine appears to be all stainless (the base is actually stamped 18/10 grade), with the exception of the brass (I believe) pressure relief fitting inside and the silicone seal/gasket between the top and bottom halves. I'm totally against aluminum for cooking, which was the main reason I selected this Cuisinox model. I've used and washed mine hundreds of times since the day I purchased it and it shows no signs of rust or corrosion. It reminds me every morning, that it is one of a very few products I own where the feeling of quality still has not worn off. I've never even replaced the silicone seal on it. Great product period.

does it show signs of Rust on the metal it self? If so then the grade of Stainless is questionable
