text: I don't think this is stainless steel. I bought this for my father and I'm embarrassed to give it to him. He wanted a stainless steal knife and this knife is ok for a boy scout. Small and thin. Doesn't look like it will hold up in durability. I would have returned it but amazon wants to charge $6+ to return. I'll just give it to my nephew in a few years for camping. Do not waste your money!!!! Also, one of the worst features is you have to use your finger to move the lock to collapse the blade. So stupid and cheap.
