As for the blade, I am ashamed to say I think there is a framing blade in there. To add to that, I have seen my Wife cut the following without ever changing the blade:

Oak
Metal

Bike cables
2x4's
Trim
Laminate flooring

And yes, she does have stronger and more defined arms than I do (all 115lbs of her), but I have legs like Fabian Cancellara.
