I'm afraid to join the drop because other drops show and describe a cast iron handle, but I understand that other drops described with a cast iron handle had a painted steel one instead. I am afraid this would not match the other cast iron handled Mauviel in my house.
JCJCJCI was curious about this as well. I know the electroplated SS versions do look similar, but this image and the description are of a cast iron handle. I guess it can always be returned if the product does not match the description. It is unreal that the same product is $710 in the stores.
