It`s definitely stainless,I just don`t know which grade.I wished it was 1095,I`m partial to carbon steel.

Schrade are not made with 1095, Taylor doesn't disclose what steel they use, so it is anyone's guess....I think the closest guess I have seen is one of the 440 series steels, well that's what it feels to me while working with the schrade knives and would also be my guess.....Doc :)
