Not really sure the grade of the steel used for this blade but I dont believe it is 440 stainless. I will say that for the price its a good heavy blade that takes an edge and has held it. My experience with 440 stainless is that it is a pain to sharpen and doesnt always hold the edge well.

Im not sure it is surgical grade but you would expect it would be low quality and trashy, it is actually a pretty good quality steel. I have had no problems with mine at all and i use it often.

It looks surgical steel, its very resistant, I've used it to cut beef meat and bones and even wood and works great

It is not a 400, i cut a branch and a round chunk broke off and you can see is made of cheap Chinese steel

Surgical stainless steel is a specific type of stainless steel, used in medical applications, which includes alloying elements of: chromium, nickel and molybdenum.

It's a premium steel, probably a little better than S30V or AG10. Not as good as M4 or M390. I concur about the knife. The detente is quite strong and you have to get used to it without putting pressure on the knife frame, but after it breaks in it's pretty sure-fire.

The 340 is bimetal and titanium coated. I have used the 340 and found little to no wear after a couple of hours of non-continuous use. It is way better than regular steel blades.

I have the brushed bronze which is a dark brown so I don't know about the steel, but brushed steel is generally a very neutral platinum gray (never white) and this seems to be the case from the picture here on amazon.

Surgical stainless steel is an informal term which refers to certain grades of stainless steel that are used in biomedical applications. The most common "surgical steels" are austenitic 316 stainless and martensitic 440 and 420 stainless steels. There is no formal definition on what constitutes a "surgical stainless steel", so product manufacturers and distributors may apply the term to refer to any grade of corrosion resistant steel. 316 stainless steel, also referred to as "Marine Grade Stainless Steel", is a chromium, nickel, molybdenum alloy of steel that exhibits relatively good strength and corrosion resistance. Along with the titanium alloy Ti6Al4V, 316 stainless is a common choice of material for biomedical implants.440 and 420 stainless steels, known also by the name "Cutlery Stainless Steel", are high carbon steels alloyed with chromium. They have very good corrosion resistance compared to other cutlery steels, but their corrosion resistance is inferior to 316 stainless. Biomedical cutting instruments are often made from 440 or 420 stainless due to its high hardness coupled with acceptable corrosion resistance. -- Wikipedia So essentially Surgical stainless will be at least corrosion resistant, though the properties vary. Heavy gauge stainless is just thick stainless without the Chromium. If you had pots and pans made from 316 it would be extremely non-stick i would assume. My Chef's secret 22 is great though i use it pretty much like ordinary and eggs stick to the pan, but eggs are pretty much the bar.

I believe it's steel. I use for reptiles so I didn't have to worry about any water issues.

I tested my two colanders with a magnet. It was non-reactive but I don't know whether that confirms SURGICAL steel or not.

No idea what type of steel. Worked just fine for replacement springs on utility trailer. Fulfilled my needs perfectly.

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!

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 just checked and mine is steel. This is a really nice spray nozzle. Very comfortable to hold and use.

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

The one I just bought has the Aus8a. Still a great steel, if you want the new steel type, I'd wait a couple months.

Not sure the type of steel but they are just like the ones on a car just rated for less weight.

The one I bought is TR65 Surgical Steel and it runs through the handle as well! Love this knife!!!

Not titanium, but plastic covered steel. The best on the market but not too heavy.
