			Ask Inveterate Tim  hes had loads of steel ones, in kukris whte metal grips are much rarer & less well made.
 Steel is best in kukris &   Personly if Tatyana says a magnet sticks I belive it . Perhaps you are mistaking the chemical cleaning patina for white metal?
 
 After all nearly all grips like this are steel.    I seem to recall you had  a steel one with silver plate added?
