Is this stainless steel chopstick solid or hollow? And where it made?

We appreciate your interest in our stainless steel chopsticks. These are made of quality 18/8 food-safe stainless steel, they are not solid as that would made them too heavy to hold. They are quality products of China. Just in case you are wondering, there are no lead, no BPA, nor mercury. Also, no child labor, no prison labor nor any forced labor used in the production or processing of the product.

No, it's aluminum. Very low grade non-stick aluminum, at that. My understanding is that some of these units were constructed with non-stick SS cookers, but those offered for sale here are not. The only stainless steel on this unit is the very thin facing on the front of the machine. Also, this is a Chinese built unit: not built in Japan, despite the name.The one I bought from Amazon, I donated to Salvation Army. The cheapness of the build was appalling, and the vastly protracted cooking times were absurd. Two hours for brown rice! My $15. rice cooker puts this thing to shame. Seriously. No, it's aluminum.

Its stainless steel, and there is rubber wrapped around some kind of core, but it is very well made, made in taiwan. I like the quality.

The one I received says Taiwan on the blade. However the Cold steel box has a company statement on the back that says their knives are made in the USA, Japan and Taiwan and that the quality and performance standards for production are the same. They all have the same one year warranty. After owning this knife for quite awhile I have to say it is a beast, I don't care where it was made this thing keeps its edge and is solid as a rock.

I believe it's lined with tin, the chrome is on the outside. My tea kettle was handmade in England, that's why I bought it in the first place. Same as with my French made Cuisinart cookware. IMO, once a product gets shipped out to China, Korea and points beyond, it's no longer the same quality.

All pieces - except the knives - are stamped from solid 18/10 stainless steel. The knives, however, are made in two parts: the handles are made of hollow 18/10 stainless steel and the blades of 18/0 stainless steel. The absence of nickel in the blades produces a much harder stainless steel which holds its cutting edge longer (but not, perhaps, its lustre). The knife handles are hollow because, for comfort, they need to be thicker than the fork handles but not heavier.

It is stainless steel. Not the heavy type but good enough for its purpose. I cook brown rice in it everyday--no problem. Just add a few more tablespoons of water; leave it alone for some minutes when the red light turns off; stir it (the rice at the bottom is usually soggy) and it should be fine after a few more minutes. After using it for sometime you'll be able to make adjustments to your cooking and enjoy the cooker.

The Knife is made in Sweden; the steel for the blade is made in Japan. I have seen, handled & worked with many, many knives, and this is far & away the highest quality knife I have seen. It holds an edge that is scary-sharp, but because of its laminated steel, it is also incredibly durable. It is a simple knife with only one purpose: to help the user survive when everything that can go wrong, has. you won't find any fish hooks in the handle, though.

It is made in China . Virtually the only domestic manufacturer of stainless steel cookware is All-Clad .

I emailed Cold Steel and they explained about the gring,flat vs hollow.I never really noticed before,now it's easy to spot but it still does not stop sellers from listing both and or using a picture different than what their actoally selling. I already have a SK-5 knife and was thinking about buying another for a present.I will be in contact with the seller before I make a purchase to be sure what I am getting. Frankly I would not want the stainless version.

Good question!! They don't say one them where they are made, it just says CIA - Culinary Institute of America, 10/18 Stainless Steel. But doing some research I found they have 4 offices/plants, 3 in the US and one in Singapore. So, hmmmm? They are very nice quality, and they are heavy for the size. I like using them. I agree with S. Saylor, I will have them a long time, and they will last long enough to hand down generations!!

Like the overwhelming majority of travel mugs, the Top Notch Stainless Steel Travel Mug is manufactured in China. Thanks for your interest.

I am pretty sure that it is usa. I have one and it works great. I just had a fish fry Friday night and feed 100 or so. I can highly recommend it. It is all stainless steel.

On the back of it is stamped into it: T304 Stainless, 5 ply for Even Heat, Lifetime Warranty. The box says: Made in China. It appears to be stainless through and through. The top side and bottom side are the same. This is a wonderful, well made skillet. It is very sturdy and a nice weight.

It's hollowed. I was going to write that it was solid, but decided to double check. The edges are foled back so that there is a very narrow slit in the back. If it helps, the handle is very sturdy and until I double checked, I thought the it was solid. My fingers never feel pinched when opening the cabinet.

I have no idea, but this unit is solid. A friend has something she bought at Target, and it is lightweight in comparison. It is seamless stainless inside also. Well made. We love it. Nothing bad to say about it.
