What material are the spikes made of? Steel or ceramic?

I believe steel. We used them for the CC team that my husband coaches and they worked great! Hope that helps!

The best is a ceramic system. Usually 2 rods at an angle stuck into a piece of wood. That steel should respond good to the ceramic. I just got a smith that is generally used for kitchen knives, but I like it because it will give me a good edge quickly and easily.

Ceramic. I highly recommend this product. The pasta bowls are not only lovely but very functional. We use these quite often!

I believe they are ceramic but I am not positive. Try looking on there website or contacting customer service.

We have ours on a stone pad so we haven't used the spikes. I'm no help. Sorry.

I'm not sure of the dimensions because I threw both pieces away as they were not good quality. The spikes, which there weren't nearly as many as advertised, are made of plastic and we're so dull it was more irritating than relaxing or therapeutic. I know this because my sister has a set from another manufacturer (can't remember the name). I love hers, it's actually beneficial.

Ceramic--they look great, but would probably chip easily. I love mine, but am very careful with them.

They are made of steel. All of my clients with knee issues use this and love it. My mother and her Dr. both LOVE it!

I believe the ones at Sam's are Ceramic. That is the set that I have and I have not had to sharpen them at all. I also purchased this set form my daughter thinking they were the same. She has had to sharpen hers . I really like the set from Sam's...and it is less expensive.

Chromed steel. They are very strong, are holding up very well and....... they look great!!!!

Pretty certain they are plastic, I can't check as they are all inside a lighting project but I am certain they were not ceramic. However, they work great and I am very happy with them.

While not actually qualified, as a metallurgist, to answer the question, I believe the spikes are pot metal. They have proven reasonably strong in the short sprinklers, but tend to break in the long versions. The sprinklers themselves work well.

Hi there, I think they are stoneware- heavier and a little more durable than ceramic, but some folks refer to them as ceramic. I hope my answer helps!

No they're not steel. I had to fill them with concrete just to make them strong enough.

They're 100% ceramic! This is the best flat iron I've ever had. I love them and I think you will too :-)

I am not 100% but close to it, steel. Magnets stick to them so they are not aluminum.

The grinding assembly is ceramic. The remaining metal parts are probably chromed steel.
