Are these actually made like chainmail, and not woven wire like the cheap knock offs(and fairly expensive ones too)

The gloves are actually chainmail links. They work well, but are not cheap.

As far as I can tell it is woven just like chainmail with tiny connected rings. The woven pattern seems very strong and I have had the glove for months now and it is still like new. I don't know how the glove would hold up to a strong strike with a big butcher knife, but I know that it will protect you while chopping or slicing with a standard knife in everyday cooking at home. Hope this helps.

Yes. Small 1/8" stainless steel rings interconnected with the rings next to it to create a mesh. Not wire, not a weave.

the glove is as described - stainless steel mesh. Very tough and very flexible.

These binding posts do appear to be plated with real gold. I have no way of actually determining whether they are or not. I can assure you they are very high quality though.

I don't know how I'd be able to tell them apart from fake ones but I have a friend who got there same ones from the mall and ours are identical in appearance and quality. Also since mine completely destroy my Sony headphones that cost over twice as much I'm sure they are real

No, they are much, much thinner. Still they are beautiful & very well made.

I do not believe so they are the same packaging they are nice and smooth plastic they're not cheap feeling in anyway and they do not have snags in the plastic to ruin your fabric. I found them to be first quality. You can find them in other places (Joann's Fabric) for example---for the same price or less when you hit a good sale. I am very happy with them have used the over and over again. Good Luck

They are made of plastic. I wouldn't say it is cheap. I think they are worth the price.

Yes, but they are not print. They are made of a heavy windbreaker like-fabric and sewn together. So what you see on one side is just the same piece of colored fabric but the other side of it. It looks just a little different because of stitching.

All I know is that they are PVC free. And they are made in Japan so there are high standards for manufacturing so I would assume there are no heavy metals. As for the embossing process I do not know how they do it. All I know for sure is that they are high quality and the best sleeves you can get.

Hi! Yes, they are. They have a sheet of heavy duty plastic enclosed in the pannier fabric on each side. You won't be sorry purchasing these ... especially if you compare prices in bike shops and even online. I did alot of research for you to have an easy decision!! Karen

Nope. They are cheap plastic chunks. Note plastic. No holes to string through. Disappointing purchase

I think they are stamped. Unless you want to pay mega bucks you will not find kitchen knives that are forged.

NO!! They are cheap Chinese knock-offs & not even in the plastic/poly bag. This applies to ones sold by Allegheny Surplus Outlet Inc. Tried to resolve this with them to no avail. I would have to eat shipping both ways.....

they are stamped Motorcraft so I assume that they are the real thing. I replaced one about a year ago and so far has been working fine. I would nor hesitate to purchase again from Amazon. 1 year I thought on warranty but no sure.

Yes, they are genuine. I bought several sizes and all were perfect. Much cheaper than the competition!

They are woven (I believe) - the others specifically state "Non-Woven" on the packages.

I think they are knock-offs, but the build is not flimsy at all. It actually felt durable/sturdy.

They are real... I bought them to and thought the same thing apparently they changed it, I contacted ellusionist and they told me, you can contact them for more answers. I thought they didn't feel like they were good quality like other bicycles
