The cam followers appear to be plastic, as is the norm on external cam skewers of this class. I drew the conclusion that the serrated faces were steel, based on having seen many skewers of this type that combine plastic and steel elements.

FWIW, While I'm very aware of slippage issues, I don't know of any reports of skewer failure in use, so I'm not worried about safety with these, and that non-worry carries to a decision to buy a pair for use on my commuter. If I should suddenly stop posting you'll know why.
