Are these really stainless steel?

As far as I can tell, they are stainless. I don't recall exactly when I bought them, but I would guess at least several years ago, and they have not shown any surface corrosion to date. As to the magnetic properties others have mentioned, generally speaking Austenitic stainless (304, 316, etc.) are not magnetic, but the Ferritic 400 series generally are.

Probly not, as a magnet will attract it, but are very nice, would order again...

As I recall, this has been asked before. I and others responded, yes. There still seemed to be uncertainty, so I contacted Griz directly and was reassured that they are, indeed, stainless. My set has worked well for setups and other applications and show no surface issues. Griz has too much to lose on an inexpensive product to falsely represent it.

Not according to the reviews on here. They are porcelain-coated steel. At least two folks complained about that. Just read all the reviews.

They certainly are stainless and seem to be steel. That is the best answer I can give. I do love the way they fit in the hand and are as sharp as a razor. I am very happy with them, whatever they are made of.

I'm not positive, but upon examining them, they seem like they're stainless. They are holding up well under use.

These are stainless steel. Originally I purchased aluminum and had to discard them.

Like the other person who answered, I, too, scoured the package to see if I could see anything about what they are made of, and it said nothing about stainless steel (or about anything else). My guess is that if they were truly stainless steel, they would broadcast it.

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

Not sure if they are stainless but at close to a year of use and they are like new. Yes. I think they are nice and heavy.

they are not stainless steel, a magnet sticks to the metal. Probably chrome plated steel. Easily replaceable with stainless. Otherwise well made.

Yes they are stainless. I have used them many times, submerged them completely in water for cleaning purposes and air dried them. They do not show any signs of rust or corrosion. They have retained their very shiny, stainless steel appearance.

I think they are stainless steel. They are not bad though. I made a top for my boat and the kit seemed to do the job for that. Just depends on what you plan on using it for I guess

Pretty positive they are. I've left mine sitting in the sink for a couple of days in a row with no signs of rust. My old ones would start to rust after just a few hours.

These are stainless steel, so I would say yes. I do put them in my dishwasher. Just so you know, I have only had them a month.

I really don't know. I am not happy I got the stainless set for a few hundred dollars and they are all rusting 18 months later. I have not used them more than several times and never let them sit in water. Next time I buy it will be a company who warranties no rust if there is such a thing.

They are not stainless. They are just regular 8 x 1 1/4 self tapping Phillips head screw.

Yes, I believe they are. However, stainless steel can rust. I cannot imagine why these cookie cutters would rust, unless someone was careless with them (i.e., didn't dry them off before they stored them, or stored them in a damp place). Mine have never rusted.

They are not stainless steel material. They are steel with a stainless steel looking finish. They are not rust proof due to the material and they will hold a magnet which indicates the product is not stainless steel as stainless steel will not hold a magnet.
