Does the chrome or polished finish pit, flake, or rust on this scoop?

I have had no negative effects so far.I put it in the dish washer after every use and still the best ice cream scoop to date.

Unfortunately, the chrome finish on ours has pitted BUT we have washed it in the dishwasher and typically, you don't want to wash ice cream scoops in a dishwasher. Otherwise, this is the best scoop I've ever found.

Not too bad, but eventually to some extent. I have run my through the dishwasher a couple hundred times. Maybe if I didn't do that it wouldn't ever pit. Hand wash it. But I'm fine with it and it scoops great.

It has not flaked or rusted in our experience, including four rowdy grandchildren.

this has got to be the best ice cream scoop on the planet. in terms of its ability to scoop ice cream. And no it has not paid in full a store rested yet in the one year that we've had ours. I would highly recommend you purchase one.

I'm not a metal expert, so this is just my personal observation. There are no markings directly on the scoop, but the sticker on it says 'stainless'. I've washed mine successfully in the dishwasher and they are holding up great for my purposes. (I use them as flour/sugar scoops.) They are not made out of a thick metal, they're kind of thin. But again, sturdy enough.

Edge of the top of the pot is smooth where the cast iron and enamel meet. I don't have any rust on mine, and as far as I know if you treat it kindly it should last a very long time. My Mom had one in the 80s and it latest forever.

No rusting. Love this item, use it for my bread baking and other kitchen uses. You will not be sorry. Good quality item. I have two, one for our house and one for our camper.

I have been trying different styles of ice cream scoops for around 50 years and this is the best design I have encountered. It is very well made out of solid stainless with a non-slip covering over the handle. The core or the handle feels solid and it appears to be part of the scoop forging. My only concern with the design is will the handle covering hold up under multiple trips through the dishwasher. The manufacturer says it is dishwasher compatible and thus far I have not seen any indication that the dishwasher is having any negative effects on the handle covering.

This scooper is Stainless Steel which is why I bought it. We use it at the Hofbrauhaus Las Vegas Restaurant where I work and it has held up fine. Most of the scoopers are aluminum and they don't hold up to a dishwasher but stainless does. Hope this helps.

Had mine for many months now and it's not rusted. I hand wash it though, never been through the dishwasher.

I own both and personally prefer the coated BK14. The coating prevents rust and covers up any rough grind spots that the BK24's stonewashed surface does not. I don't know if they changed the coating somewhere along the line but mine has not scraped off with use; not to say the coating will never scrape, but I'm personally glad it's there.

I don't believe it is an actual chrome plated finish. I think it is stainless steel polished to a shinny bright silver finish. Which makes it VERY durable. While giving it the appearance of chrome. Chrome was used in the 50s and 60s as a plating to protect the metal underneath. Chrome is hard and resists rust better than steel. But chrome can/will rust. Stainless steel has Chromium in it, but is much more resistant to rust.

The metal has some type of coating. Mine has not rusted or tarnished at all. However, it is not designed to get wet.

I have never noticed any rusting. I have had a set for probably over 10 years and just bought a smaller set because my kids have lost some spoons!

It hasn't rusted yet. We've had it up since spring 2014. Has a nice finish.

It seems to me that the threads were cut in the dumbell ends after the bars are chrome plated. Thus, the edged of the thread grooves are sharp. The chrome plating on my bars has not flaked, as you might expect. I can see that those sharp grooves could develop a serrated character if the plating flakes.

The finish is definitely a polished chrome like. I have had this for over a year and am very pleased with it. No problems at all.

Not sure what you mean. The stainless is very nice, does not rust, looks beautiful. I have dropped items that have not broken, but one never knows.
