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.

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.

They are fairly cheap thin quality with loose loops. I like them a lot for kitchen towels (and in particular because they're not too dainty to be used for whatever) but they may not be nice enough to be worth embroidering.

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

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

I'm not sure if they are forged but don't waste your money. I ordered the set, opened up the box, put all knives awa in caddy. I then started to reister the product and found out that the knives are made in China. I bought them because I thought they were German made and they are not. I bought a REAL Henckels in Macy's you may want to puchase them there.

As far as I know they are? Are there any discerning marks or noticeable pieces that would stand out? They do look different than the knock-offs I ordered from China.

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 poorly made Chinese knock-offs. One rod slipped through a pocket the first or second time I used it and I almost landed on my back on the deck. Fortunately, they were mounted high enough that I had an inch (and not much more) to spare.

I ordered the 30-pack through Prime, so I got them in 2 days, but they don't have the logo and the wrist straps are incredibly cheap. The one I have clicked so far is about as loud as a box clicker. I can't find my legit logo'd iClick to compare it to, but I'm fairly sure these are knock-offs. Makes sense seeing as they came out to $0.80 a piece including the wrist coil. So long as they work, I don't care too much.

No they are not real! Pretty good fakes though. Some of them are great but a few were trash.

I 'm not sure but, don't be fooled these are pretty cheap, and feel more like plastic than pleather.

No, they're stamped. Some of these answers are confusing 'full tang' with 'forged'.

I not sure about saying knockoffs. However, they are cheap in cost and texture. I paid $10 at stores for the same identical ones. These have lasted me about a year or so. The inside is plastic sometimes slide out of place. If you buy them, tape the plastic inserts and it will last much longer . they are not a heavy metal. But will last ..I hope this will help. I have ordered them each year for me and my friends. My friends carry expensive purses($200-$300) , and they use these for their cards.

Yes, they are really swords. When I got them I was really surprised how sharp they are. The rope that is wound around the handle isn't the best, and I think if used a lot they could unravel easier, and the sheath is a piece of garbage. But as far as if they are real, that would be a yes.

The fakes I received had heavy black stitching around the cuffs, came in cheap celophane wrappers, and had no tags inside. The picture on the web were authentic ones, so I did not know until I received the replicas that they were fakes. They were 1/2 the price of other vendors, so that should have been a clue that they were junk.
