It appears to be metal, but with plastic on the front edge. Its somewhat hard to tell for sure however.

Brushed aluminum frame, deck and top with soft to touch plastic bottom cover. When closed, the unit is all black with brushed aluminum side trim and hinge showing. Has a nice look and feel.

it's made of metal. it isnt made of unbreakable iron or anything, but it's definitely a nice step up from plastic.

It is NOT plastic. Whether it's chrome or another kind of metal, I don't know, but it is metal and quite sturdy.

It is not metal. I agree with the others who said it's some kind of nylon mesh.

Don't know, but the overall quality was excellent so I would suspect metal.

It's made of both metal and plastic. I can't say if it's of the same quality as the original because this is the oldest one I've gotten my hands on but it really is a great quality. Sturdy. I got it for my nephew and he wanted to play with it so I let him take it out and he's played with it a hundred times, transforming it back and forth, and it is still fully functional and nothing has broken on it or anything.

It says it's made from resin. Resin is a plastic like material. There is no metal in it if that's what you needed to know.

Metal. However, the one I purchased broke in about a month. The one I gave as a gift lasted longer

It's not metal, it's a very hard plastic/composite material... But it has worked great for me.

The body is plastic. The handle is more like rubber, but still might be some sort of polymer.

Hello. The whole thing is made of plastic, with the exception of the metal blade. It works quite well.

Hi Fred,Did some searching, and according to "Digital Camera Info" web site, the body is "heavy" and made of metal, but it doesn't specify what the metal is. It has a "leather-like" texture to it.I've enjoyed your reviews, so wanted to help out if I could. ;-)

it's plastic..and very sturdy! the pieces are metal. I like it because it's not bulky, and easy to wash. You do have to apply a little bit of arm muscle to get it to work, but i read a lot of reviews and it was recommended by a lot of foodies :)

It was actually metal. I was surprised when I received it. I figured it would be plastic for the price. Only draw back is shipping. Took close to a month to receive due to being shipped from overseas.
