the picture shows 2 different handles and knob - is it all steel, or with black plastic?

Mine has a large grey knob,handle insert,opposite stabilizer tube of plastic and the rest is all stainless with three grid perforation sizes. Quite sturdy to say the least.

Both handles are high quality plastic coating stainless and the knob is a solid hard plastic knob. It has high quality structural integrity

It's all metal except the knob and both handles have a silicone? insert or covering to, I believe, help you grip those parts better. I'm not sure if they're heat resistant at all. The clip or scraper on the bottom may be plastic.

The unit I received had a finished Stainless Steel door with handle, just as pictured. I have had it installed for 6 months and have had no issues at all.

The knob itself is plastic but it connects on the inside to metal. There is no plastic on the inside where the handle connects. It looks to be a very sturdy, well made coffee pot. Be sure to open the lid without pulling on the knob. It will last for a long time if you do that.

The handle I believe is chrome plated solid brass (what almost all quality faucets are made from), and the trim plate is chrome plated steel. Almost no household items are actually solid chrome. The only plastic items were possibly some retainers on the mixing valve. This is the highest quality I've seen, especially at the price.

Handles are black G-10 material. Stainless liner, screws, and blade. There are other handles out there to "pimp" it, but not thru this site. Do a Google search for that and you'll see. Hope this helps. GREAT knifevimo.

I think the knobs are made of plastic, but they are very high quality and it's actually really hard to tell. They look like glass, but if you tap them with a fingernail they kind of seem more like plastic. Again - high quality and you can't really tell.

The Handle is NOT Metal, but it is black plastic with a thin veneer of aluminum paint that makes it appear as if it is aluminum.

It's mostly metal, I'm not certain if it's stainless steel. No handle covers.

I have both sitting side by side & the only difference I can see is the handle & knobs color. Same size & same looking elements.

I believe you order it as either stainless OR all black. I ordered the all black version and the bar and the steps are both black. I wish I had ordered the stainless.

I replaced my old stainless steel one with black, and the new black spray handle looks fine against the old stainless steel pipe. But I have no idea what the new stainless steel ones look like, so I can't answer your question. Why not just replace your old black one with a new black one?

Mine has a built in metal handle, no plastic. Don't know if they've changed the design since I bought it....

It was plastic, very flimsy. I returned the item and got a stainless steel from local hardware store.

Do you still have the knob the screw goes into? It's the knob that holds the handle, and the screw anchors the knob... The screws look like standard machine screws -- go to any hardware store with the remaining one to find a suitable match. If you need a knob and screw, I bet a similar stainless steel cabinet knob set would work.

The knobs are plastic wing nut type fasteners but the actual screw that it turns and other parts are metal.

The kettle is metal. The inside is dark and appears coated. The handle is a hard plastic.

It is coated with rubber so is not really possible to see entire handle, but what of the handle you can see, looks like plastic. I can tell you my husband loves the one I got him for Christmas.
