Does a coppery shine come through anywhere on these knobs? Thanks.

Yes. But not a whole lot. We got these to match our penny floor and they look great. We've had them installed for almost two years and they still look brand new.

Sorry, not sure. After looking inside the whistle, I'd say perhaps chrome-plating over copper.Perhaps you could contact Acme, the manufacturer. It's a wonderful piece.

These knobs were great for our cabinets which are light color maple. They have just the right amount of rubbed brown color.They are a darker brown color however. Hope this helps.

No, they are very thin and shiny. you can operate the click wheel through the plastic. prevents scratches but not waterproof.

They are not coated. They do spot easily which is normal for copper. They can be left to age or polish beautifully. Great for ice cold Moscow Mules!

The knobs are made of some kind of metal - solid material - have held up very well. No chipping etc....have had them in entire house for 8 months so far (bathrooms....kitchen....built in cabinets in bedrooms). Very happy with them!

So far no, used them once and washed them by hand. Afraid the heat from the dishwasher could damage the copper plating?

If turning the knobs does not adjust color, I would say so. It's not difficult or any weird method to change the color - so if yours isn't doing it, it's most likely nothing you're missing or not seeing how to do.

The satin nickel finish (surface roughness) is smooth but not shiny and doesn't exhibit a polishing "pattern" like stainless steel. However, this hardware looks terrific along side our stainless steel appliances. The satin nickel doesn't show fingerprints, which is important on drawer handles. One of stainless steel's largest metallurgical components is nickel, so the color is nearly identical. You will be happy with the results, as long as you're not putting stainless hardware next to satin nickel hardware because the polish finish is different. Good luck with your project.

I really don't know. I do know that the metal will not rust I put my knobs in the bathroom, and I don't have windows. I love knobs they really shine like diamonds.

These are nice knobs but are darker in color. They have some shine. We have ours on white cabinets and they look great.

I believe they are.....at least they are shiny stainless colored metal which I assume is stainless. The black plastic turn knob is the only thing not shiny. It is a very nice can opener.

CV....i am so glad you asked. I had bought a cream copper cleaner especially for this sink. When i rubbed the cream on, the finish started to come off, leaving a shiny, uneven copper color in place of the beautiful patina. It was so bad, I ordered another sink (not the same one, but very similar copper with a rope design around the rim--i actually like it even more). I discarded the copper cleaner and have put the renaissance cream on the new sink to protect it. I haven't used ANYTHING to clean it, considering dawn or a mild soap. so, buyer, beware!!

I haven't tried them on oval knobs but my guess is they wouldn't close around an oval knob unless it was very small.

Yes, we have two girls under 10 and younger and the knobs still look like new. They look great in our home also and I still think they were a great buy. Sorry it took so long to answer.

Well, they definitely turn darker with use. Mine have not turned green. I suppose you could clean them with copper cleaner if you want the bright copper shine at all times. I like the darker look and have not used a special cleaner. I just make sure I hand wash and dry them very well.

These are not coated with anything. As a result, they will discolour with normal use. A little bit of Wright's Copper Cream will polish them back up.
