Umm.. claimed to be brushed stainless steel. Looks more like good
quality chrome to me.

Non magnetic so not mild steel. I'll report back in a few years:-)

Having acquired a Chinese stainless steel gate fitting, I learnt from
this very group that some stainless steel is prone to surface rust when
damp, despite its name.

Cheap cutlery is often marginal in chrome content, you can get rust
spots that can just about be cleaned off with scotchbrite or similar.

Cutlery tends to be 18% chromium and is magnetic (para- only?); 18 10 isn't
magnetic and shouldn't rust.
I don't know what A2 st. st. is, but it withstands 10 years+ of salt.

Rolls Royce wheel trim was 22% chromium and hard chrome plated and polished
- that didn't rust in 72 hr. salt spray but the 18% did.

Oh well! If we are all still here in 3 or so years I'll report back:-)
