Are the handles, bowls, tines, blades 18/10 stainless steel or are they a lesser nickle content?

I have to strongly dissuade you. I was forced to return my set with such lowered expectations that I am no longer considering Reed & Barton. I opened the first piece and there was a ugly swirling scratch across the bowl of the iced teaspoon. I opened a second piece--a regular teaspoon--and the end and one side of the bowl were sharp enough that I believe I could have cut my finger, let alone mouth, on it. Most dinner knives are less sharp. Obviously unacceptable and I returned. The seller was lovely about the return however. As far as your actual question--the pieces are stated to be 18/10--however given the overall quality of these and other made in China products you would have to ask yourself the level of trust you place in the labeling.

Are you asking if the blades are stainless steel? If so the answer is there is the title description. They are stainless steel and are excellent quality.

The bowl is stainless steel. The blade and bowl are excellent and heavy duty. I have had my machine for over a year and it is the best.

I think they are stainless steel. Very thin. Work well for my GF English muffins. I agree with previous comments regarding washing & drying by hand.

I'm not sure if they're stainless steel perhaps some type of high grade alloy. They are very high quality and my wife has enjoyed playing with them so far. Its a good deal! ~ Chris

They are stainless steel. They are a little deeper than my old poacher and are really nice.

Yes they are. They are made of 440 stainless steel so they are brittle. But they are extremely sharp.

There is no plastic. The handles are solid metal and appear to be either forged or welded to the blade. I don't think these will ever break.

As far as I can tell they're stainless steel. I have used them for kebabs many times but never actually cooked a baked potato on them. They wash up easily and look as good as the day I first used them. There isn't any rust in the areas between the shank and the handle where you would usually find rust on regular steel. That said, they're the best skewers I've ever owned and they look like they'll last forever.

I can't tell you if they are 18/10, but the pots and lids are stainless steel.

No, they are steel with a colored coating. They have so far been very good knives.

No, they are not. Only the handles are stainless. The rest is chrome plated steel. A simple magnet is all that's required to prove this. Stainless steel is not magnetic. So if the magnet sticks to it, it is not stainless.

They are not titanium blades, they are titanium coated (probably titanium carbon nitride or titanium aluminium nitride). If they are decent stainless underneath they should not rust.

Yes, the handles are plastic and they have grooves for better handling. These are the best knives..I've had only one for years and I just bought a set for each of my daughters for Christmas! They stay sharp forever!!!!

Dont know. I gave them away as gift. All i can say is that i saw a big lump inside from the welding and it was not stainless steel.
