what metal is it made out of and will finish rub off in time?

Don't know exactly what metal is made of, but surely at this price you will more than get your moneys worth before you see wear and tear. After all, they are pulls on a cabinet door, not exposes to liquids etc.

They appear to be stainless steel, not a cheap quality painted-on finish. We've had them for a few months now and they show no signs of wear. High quality.

I am not totally sure what type of metal it is, I believe it is nickel plated brass. Not 100% sure. The knobs are identical to the quality at HD or L's. I think they will last for years and years. They appear to be very high quality. I am very happy with the purchase. Hope that helps..

No clue on the metal type. I don't think there is a finish... I think it's just a brushed metal.

Its made of Iron and brass. Has a aged look about it. Get some oil and clean it. I use it on my gym locker.Works fine.

I can't vouch for the actual material it is made of but I've used it for about 6 months to sort pins from brass during my wet tumbling process. It was wet/soapy quite a bit and I haven't seen a spot of rust on it.

It is chrome plated metal, and it looked great when I first got in OCT 2014, but after 6 months on the back of my Magnum which was barely driven during the winter the frame looked horrible. I had pre-waxed it with Turtle Ice, but litllle pitts started to pop up surrounded by white blotches of corrosion that would not polish off. None of the other chrome details on my car had that problem. Had to take it off. Too ugly for my tastes. Finger Lakes Area of NY. Nobody else had this problem?

I believe it's more metal all throughout the handle, it makes a metallic "clink" when you tap it with a fingernail or something that is plastic. It's probably only silver plated though, so take care not to scratch it. The crystal and pearl inlays are most definitely plastic however. I hope I answered your question to your satisfaction, don't hesitate to ask any more :)

I think it's some kind of steel. It's magnetic and mine already has a bit of rust on the bottom edge and I haven't even used it yet. :(

It is metal. Seems to be well made and fit my new sink perfectly. Only problem is that after several months of use it is beginning to discolor somewhat.

Steel with either chrome or stainless steel. A magnet will stick. I have been using mine for years and it doesn't show wear.

It is made of metal. I haven't used it yet but it looks like it is pretty good. I use it for a math class. It is designed for woodworkers.

Without taking it apart it is impossible to tell. The brushed nickel finish is very good and from appearance it looks like metal but judging from the weight it must be plastic. I, and especially my wife, are very pleased with the appearance and function. Good value but time will tell.

its metal, & a very good build quality too. I've had mine for about 2 years now no problems and the finish is great

Just a tad but it goes away after a couple of days. However, I wish I had gotten the chrome plated one. This one has a dimply finish. The chrome would of been easier to keep clean. I use it for my patients that need assistance getting up on my massage table.

It is metal. I loved it when I bought it because I love purple! After awhile the scratches show only if you put it in the light. I really loved it. Bought one for my daughter too!

Since the description nor my packaging say stainless, I assume it is some unknown metal that is chrome-plated. It cannot be made out of 100% chrome. Chrome is not strong enough and is only used in coatings.

It's metal but I accidentally walked away after spraying bathroom foam bleach and it tarnished. It took 2 boxes of baking soda to remove the oxidation. Now all good !

Its plated metal. Looks nice but the plating does come off making it copper colored.
