Product description says made of "carbon steel". Is this a stainless steel, or does one have to worry about it rusting.

This knife in high carbon steel most certainly WILL rust and discolor, but nowhere nearly as easily as "regular" carbon steel will. You can't leave it wet. Clean the blade and dry it after each use. It is not stainless steel and wouldn't be nearly as good if it were.

I use this knife daily and never have I seen signs of rust. It must be stainless.I highly recommend the knife, just keep it sharp and it will replace almost all other knives in the kitchen.

It won't rust, but if you leave it wet in your sink, you'll get a few spots that will polish right out. I would call it stain-resistant.

You don't have to worry much about this knife rusting its made with a high carbon stainless steel. I use this knife every day at work and have had no problem with rust at all, it holds it's edge like no knife I have ever worked with. I love this knife.

It says right in the description details "made from stainless steel". Try reading the descriptions to get the info. Works for me.

It is made of steel. It may rust if its exposed I would imagine. I will say it had not even crossed my mind. I have used it to hold my bike while I wash it with the hose. I did let it dry in the sun. I've had it for a few months and have used it often. For the money I have made a great buy.

It doesn't appear to be stainless steel. It seems to be some chrome-plated metal.

I haven't had any parts start rusting on me and I don't keep it wet. I suppose it could be stainless steel. I like it and it works well and cleans up pretty easy. I hand wash the parts with dish soap and water and a sponge - just like washing dishes by hand and let the parts dry in a dish rack and I don't have any problems yet and no rust yet.

It is stainless steel. But the product is not very satisfactory. it is impossible to clean and looks very bad after a few days of use. None of my other stainless products look like this.

Do not believe it is stainless; manufacturers usually promote the stainless aspect, since it is 4X more expensive. It is probably stamped carbon steel, but we have not tested for composition. Sorry.

Interesting. I contacted the manufacturer directly and they state that it should be genuine stainless steel, which of course would never rust. Their answer to the rust comments was that it was more likely mineral build-up confused as rust. I think most thinking adults, however, know the difference. Anyway, finding anything of quality at any price is harder and harder these days.

I believe it was actually stainless steel, but it was a gift to my dad so I'm not sure. Sorry I couldn't give a definite answer.

It is listed as stainless on Amazon, and appears to be the same stainless as my 20 year old German Henkel knife. This one was marked Made in Spain. If it was ordinary carbon steel it would rust. I believe that all steel is "carbon steel" to some degree, since steel is by definition an alloy of carbon and iron, but stainless also contains chromium ( which prevents rust formation due to the surface oxide) and other metals as well, a situation fraught with misunderstanding

I believe it is carbon steel as it does rust if not lightly coated with oil after each use/washing. A magnet does stick to the wok itself but not the lid or ring both of those seem to be aluminum. I will say that I just checked mine and where I had coated it after last use is fine but the outside bottom (which I did not coat) has some rust already. This does not appear to be made as well as this same wok I purchased over 20 years ago.

I think it is stainless steel. Fairly confident that the collar will not rust!

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 if it is stainless. The metal type should be listed in the product description. I use mine a lot and it stays out in my shed year round. No rust on it after 2 years

carbon steel has a high iron content and will rust stainless is resistant to rust and in my opinion carbon takes an edge and holds an edge better than most low end stainless steel but you have to keep the carbon steel dry and lightly oiled

It is made of a high quality stainless steel. It will not rust when wet under most conditions. However it is not made of the type of stainless steel from which Nautical Equipment is made. I would not suggest that this item be exposed to a highly corrosive environment (such as the salt water of the sea) for a lengthy period of time.
