Are these actually made like chainmail, and not woven wire like the cheap knock offs(and fairly expensive ones too)

The gloves are actually chainmail links. They work well, but are not cheap.

As far as I can tell it is woven just like chainmail with tiny connected rings. The woven pattern seems very strong and I have had the glove for months now and it is still like new. I don't know how the glove would hold up to a strong strike with a big butcher knife, but I know that it will protect you while chopping or slicing with a standard knife in everyday cooking at home. Hope this helps.

Yes. Small 1/8" stainless steel rings interconnected with the rings next to it to create a mesh. Not wire, not a weave.

the glove is as described - stainless steel mesh. Very tough and very flexible.

No, these actually seem to be pretty high quality for fake gems. My 7 year thinks they are real, if that says anything :)

the ones I bought were NOT envelope style. they were fitted with elastic just like a regular fitted bottom sheet.

As far as I know they are? Are there any discerning marks or noticeable pieces that would stand out? They do look different than the knock-offs I ordered from China.

If you are referring to "forged" as a fake, they certainly are not. I took them to a knife shop recently to have them sharpened and was informed they are authentic.

No, this is NOT the snakeskin version. Those are listed on amazon elsewhere and will say that they are snakeskin.

Yes those are the real once and are Japanese made.The others are Chinese copy and not good at all waist of money!

They work well on the bands front, not sure what you mean by fake....they are not the rainbow loom brand, but another brand and they work well.

Yes, but they are not print. They are made of a heavy windbreaker like-fabric and sewn together. So what you see on one side is just the same piece of colored fabric but the other side of it. It looks just a little different because of stitching.

The are not authentic Laguiole, they are made by a company in the town of Laguiole and are of a similar style to the Laguiole. Therefore, they do not come with a certificate of authenticity (presumably "authentic LeBrun" isn't really what anyone would recognize or want).However, they are very nice for the price. Certainly not as good as Laguiole, but these have a nice heft to them, look very similar to Laguioles, have good cutting edges, etc. and at a substantially lesser price than authentic Laguioles.If money is no object whatsoever and you want the best, get Laguiole. If you want a nice-quality set at an affordable price, then these are a good option.

They're very much synthetic leather. Hence why they smell like plastic death when you first get them. No way you can get genuine leather at this price.

As previously stated, the ones in the photos are the real ones, the ones that I received today (2/15/14) are the fakes: black stitching on the cuffs, no label inside the cuffs, and no warranty card. I should have known better at this price! These do have a box (which is fake too- and are inside plastic). There is a video at one of the other Ove Glove order sites. I don't know why there are different sites for this but the ones you will order here are fake.

Not really. They are made out of the same material that cheap shopping bags are made of. They are machine washable though.

NO, I don't believe they are. They are very similar to some micro-fiber sheets that I bought. Kind of feel nylon-ish.

Yes. I just checked the tag and they are 100% silk (made in China). The wrist is very stretchy, so I don't understand how there is nothing but silk, but is says 100% silk for sure.

They are fairly cheap thin quality with loose loops. I like them a lot for kitchen towels (and in particular because they're not too dainty to be used for whatever) but they may not be nice enough to be worth embroidering.

I bought these and they were "Twistx Bantz" which I believe are Rainbow Loom brand and they seemed high quality -- but I'm still not sure -- they could still be a knockoff!
