what metal is it made out of (steel, aluminum, stainless steel, etc)?

Pen is non-magnetic except for the clip so it may be aircraft aluminum with black anodize coating. That is my guess, and that being said it is very very tough, and is heavy and substantial in the hand and pocket. jd

in response to your question i took this pen and compared it to the tactical pen from budk made of the 6061 aluminum. i own and use both.this pen because it has multiple machined surfaces appears to have both aluminum & steel.this pen though smaller then the budk is comparable in weight. however, the aggressive tip on the budk tactical pen is much sharper/nastier !the grip areas on this pen could all be steel.however, other areas may not.

It is metal but not sure what, probably a heavy aluminum. It works wonderfully, I just bought a second one for my sister.

It is made from aluminum, it's actually made very well despite the cheap price.

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 have no idea what kind of metal it is, but I believe it is stainless steel. It shouldn't rust.

It seems more like aluminum to me. I don't know. It could be stainless steel but it's very light.

Not being a metallurgist, I cannot say for sure, but it appears to be nothing but stainless steel. The aluminum looks to be entirely sandwiched in the base and not exposed anywhere.

I am sorry....I honestly do not know whether it is made out of stainless steel or aluminum. I can tell you though that I absolutely love this machine!!

I dont know exactly what it is made of, but it is metal not plastic.. I think it is Aluminium .. From my experience it is of good quality :)

Yes, it is made of aluminum. The heat is evenly distributed with the aluminum, and does do a great job of making sandwiches. I remember we had one that was steel when I was a kid. Might have been a knock off of the original at the time.

I read the manual but didn't say about material. I think it is stainless steel. I checked with magnet!

From what I see the legs are made of Aluminum, Everything is, Stainless steel.

It appears to be cast iron, it might be aluminum. Whatever it is made of it is made of sturdy construction.

I believe this is made of stainless steel. It appears that way on the inside and everywhere I've looked online it lists only stainless steel. I believe if aluminum were a material, it would have to be mentioned. I've recently moved and put the box and manual away, sorry about that. I hope this helps.

It's made out of aluminum. The sprayer part inside is plastic. It's well made and pretty strong.

It's made of stainless steel and cast aluminum. Only bolts and nuts can get rusted!

Thank you for asking this question. I was trying to figure out how to test the material and you found the answer. So if its not steel, what is it? Aluminum blend I guess.
