No it was not the product was painted black, horrible, paint peels quickly, product was made poorly couldn't return to amazon because it was broken. I had to contact gerber for warranty procedure for defective plastic part. Do not buy this product.

The other answer seems to have got a bad product, or they changed their coating process at some point. I don't know the technical details, but mine has a very good finish, which, after more than 3 years of use, has not worn, chipped, or scratched very much at all. There are some small exposed spots that appeared after dropping it, but they have not caused any flaking. There is some slight fading where parts rub together or where it is handled most often, but you have to look for it.

It seems to be stainless steel. No signs of it being coated, though I don't think I read the manual thing cover to cover.

It is what I call a dusty wrought iron black. It is not a shiny lacquer black.

Yes, it is coated. I have a Kohler double-black sink. I am thrilled with this sink protector and think you will be too.

The black is plastic. I have used mine many time and have never encountered any problems. Very satisfied.

It has a black coating. This is a very substantial knife. You will like it very much.

Interesting to see so many mention black enamel. I have always thought it was black teflon (non-stick coating). Since I don't like teflon, I would be happier if it were enamel or something inert. I guess the only way to know for sure is to call the company, since I don't want to scratch mine to find out for sure.

mine did not have a coating. it may be a protective film to be removed after shipping.

I am not at home this month so I cannot check to see if there is any black at all on my faucet....I only recall the metal finish...do not understand what u r referring to.

No, Just well enough to get the thick oil coating off. It should still be black when clean.

It is black coated and feels like metal to me. It is intended to go into an oven so could not be plastic. It seems heavy duty so should be durable. We have had no problems with it.

Yes, it has a black powdercoat but should be fine with proper preparations. I have mine covered in plasti-dip and it holds up well also.
