The description says this is made of stainless steel, but many of the comments mention rusting. Are these stainless?

Pictures were posted of the alphabet cutters arriving rusted. Looking at the description for the alphabet cutters, nowhere does it say they are stainless steel. So it appears some of the cookie cutters are stainless steel and some may not be. Reading the description thoroughly for each option is important.

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.

Even Stainless Steel can take on rust stains if placed next to a rusting object - the box is tin and if the Cutters are placed in it damp or allowed to dampen, there will be rust on the cutters from the container.

I'm suspicious so I dry mine first with a dish towel, then finish with them on a rimmed cookie sheet in the oven at 350-400 degrees for 10 minutes. Never a problem.

The set I happened to receive hasn't rusted. They are, however, poorly made of thin metal (sharp edges, especially at the decorative ends). I was too embarrassed to give this set as a gift.

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

Please note all metals rust. Being made of stainless steel does not guarantee that an item will not rust. Stainless steel actually means what the name says, the item will stain less than regular steel. I hope this helps.

Over time they will rust. If you make sure they are dry before putting them away, they should last longer. Stainless steel. Keep in mind the phrase, get what you pay for. "I" have no complaints, hope this helps

They're made of die-cast aluminum so they won't rust. Source: Hy-ko catalog online.

They are stainless steel. I haven't put them in the dishwasher but I know that you have to grease from up after you wash them otherwise they will Rust

I don't know for sure, but would assume so. Mine have not rusted and I use them often.

They are NOT stainless steel( too costly and hard to bend) I believe they are either galvanized or possibly aluminum ( I can check tomorrow- dark outside tomorrow)

As far as I can tell they are made of copper not stainless steel. Works great too.

I don't think they are steel--they are lightweight. No rust. We've had the set for two years and they still look new.

They are not stainless steel but if you are concerned about rust mine is sitting in a sunroom that has a large spa. The humidity is high (70%+) and after 6 months I have seen no corrosion or rust.

They are stainless steel, so no they will not rust. They are made in China.

I'm very sure they are, I have not noticed any corrosion, I think they are stainless steel and of good quality.

They appear to all be stainless steel. The upper part ("plates" that hold the gears and attach to the handles) are kind of shiny for stainless and look like some kind of plated metal- they are shiny like chrome, and very solid. I do not see any evidence of rusting on the gears or anywhere after a few months of use. This device works great.
