I doubt they're  Really made by the companies whose names are stamped on them. The quality is all over the place. The Kitchen Aid scissors, for example, are worthless cheap-a** sh*t. Their specialty knives are high-carbon steel or (to the extent that's possible) rather decent stainless steel with properly ground surfaces. I tend to mix and match - I don't care about name brands, I care about quality and suitability for purpose. Betty Crocker stuff nowadays is very poor quality, but works so well, I'm willing to accept that it's not going to last long. Bialetti has really upped their game the past few years, if I were going to give someone matched kitchen tools, it would probably be from them. Alessi design is still wonderful, but their quality..... | ||

I bought a new set of measuring cups at Target 2 days ago. Saw the OXO brand, with stainless "cups" and rubber handles for $18 (more elsewhere). Even though I'd put them in my cart, I kept looking. I didn't want plastic and found another set in stainless with metal handles for $11 less, just $7. Sold!
Photo below is the more pricey OXO brand.

I'm a Wusthof man. Can't beat 'em! Some in my collection are nearly thirty years old. All have been through the dishwasher dozens of times. They're kept razor sharp with a Chef's Choice sharpener.

My Wusthof are the Avantguard line. I have never put them in the dishwasher, but it is good to know they can take it. | ||

All my kitchen knives are Warther's knives made here in Ohio. One of them was from my grandmother and is at a minimum 40 years old though it has never been in the dishwasher. I'll trek over there for sharpening every so often. Still made there which is nice.

I am still using some of the Mepal Ware Melamine tools from Denmark that I bought in the mid 70s. I do not use metal in pans or bowls because I don't like scratches. | ||
