Is it "fake stainless steel" meaning just a color of stainless?

If it says stainless steel, it is. I have never heard of fake stainless steel. It is not painted on if that is what you mean.

The external looks like painted metallic silver to me, not stainless steel.

We had ordered one and it was all stainless like the picture, but it was one of the last ones. They are hard to find all stainless, so my guess is that this has a black cover on it.

It's real stainless. I still love it. I have a small coffee business, so I use it quite a bit, and it's still going strong.

Yes its real, heavy and stainless steel, but its not sharp and its only to hang in the room, not to destroy things with the sword or u can broke the sword, but its pretty big and heavy :)

I don't know but it is shiny (and shows no sign of rust) and appears to be stainless steel

I looked at the bottom of my container to see if it was imprinted with "Stainless Steel" which it is not, but I do believe it is stainless. It is a rugged construction and has shown no signs of rust or staining yet for me.

Hi. No it is not stainless steel. It is like a vinyl type material. Has worked well so far.

The one I received is all stainless. However, when I ordered it the picture was different, it was all stainless. I hope it helps you...

Nope, not stainless. Not sure what type of steel alloy it is. Mine are painted/powdercoated black and have held up great for more than a year.

I don't know for sure, but I suspect it is just a marketing reference to the color of the accent plastic. The metal is a light stainless steel.

No, it is stainless however and very easy to clean. This is a good quality stainless, not a cheapie.

I don't think so. It is induction-ready, which usually means 18/0 stainless--no nickel. It's really the chromium, not the nickel, which provides the stainless quality. The nickel just gives a lighter color that looks more like silver. It's generally used for knives, forks and spoons, which (at least in some houses) used to be made of silver.

Yes, I would say it is actual stainless steel. Amazon appears to be lazier than a cut dog, for the most part, is what I can figure. Here is a link for further spec details: http://www.mec.ca/product/5035-556/gsi-glacier-stainless-steel-cuppot/?f=10&q;=gsi

I think it's fake. The metal looks like plastic but it might be a real metal. It's designed to be a model not something you'd actually use.
