It's made of Iron, however the knife did not stay in place and kept slipping causing the casing to slip while pulling. I ended up returning this item because it was to much work trying to get it to work. Amazon was great in giving me back a full refund.

I appears to be made of regular steel. It works okay. I have stripped alot of different size wires and it works okay. You do fiddle with the adjustments a fair amount of time. I've been pleased with it, alhough, I paid full price and would say that in my opinion, it's only worth about $20.00. You fiddle with the adjustments alot, but it does get the job done. Hope this helps.

Not sure but it's not aluminum. It's heavy, not sure about the warranty. But for the price it's worked really well. I've stripped about 40 pounds of copper so far. No problems.

It is not cast iron as it is very light, and it could be cast aluminum. It has the words "Pearl Life" on it which may be what it is made of. It cleans up great and I spray it with Pam before putting my batter in and they come right out.

Made of heavy duty plastic attached to metal...inside water system is aluminum. This is my second Ames reel to replace one that lasted 10 years. I love it!

It appears to be stainless steel. I believe it is a combo of both. It is pretty heavy for aluminum. It length is 10". The width of heads are 2 3/8"wide. One is flat and other side is ridged with raised multi-points. This was an excellent purchase and I have used the heck out of it. I wish the ridge part was a little deeper. It feels very secure and balanced when using it.

I believe mine is cast aluminum. Living in Hawaii the weather is usually humid. I only used mine one time so far and it did take awhile for the iron to season and not stick. Your 100 year old one must have worked perfectly.

Metal....aircraft grade aluminum. I think it is better than the plastic one.

I believe it is cast aluminum that is then machined. It is heavy now, if it was steel or cast iron it would be way too heavy.

I read through the product info & warranty. There is no mention of what metal the cutting assembly is made of. I have had my unit for about one year & it has been very reliable. I do clean the cutting blade after every use to avoid cross-contamination. I have seen no rust & it cuts as well as day one.

I believe it is cast iron. We have had ours for a year and love it. It is very sturdy. Our camp is in the sand hills and it holds up well, even with a large dutch oven.

I wouldn't say it's cast iron, but it is all metal, certainly not aluminum.

It's an aluminum. You have to be very careful with the legs because they aren't very sturdy and the paint on the "metal' frame chips and scratches easily.

It is cast metal for the most part, with a plastic shroud around the metal barrel. Seems to be fairly durable.

I am not 100% certain. I got this but it did not last long as family scoffed it. I am pretty sure it was metal.
