At 1:41 What makes you think if it was steel it would not be magnetic? In fact it is made of Stainless Steel. I suspect the black color may be a powder coating but I don't know that for sure. Steel (even Stainless Steel) can be magnetic or nonmagnetic depending on the alloy and the crystal structure.
@@PrestissimoMedia Thanks for the info. I double checked with one of my stock vendors and they confirmed that "SUS 430 is a ferritic, straight chromium, non-hardenable grade, combining good corrosion resistance and formability characteristics with useful mechanical properties." But who cares if it's ferritic or martensitic. In either case it is magnetic which is it's primary purpose. Martensitic steel can be hardened but that is not necessary for this application. The better corrosion resistance and formability of ferritic SUS 430 is probably why it was chosen.

I asked the Omnifixo Team for clarification “Hello, It is called SUS430 a martensitic "mild" stainless variant, common use is kitchen cutlery.”
