Man of Honour
The grey handgrip on the telescopic handle is plastic, but the telescoping sections are all metal. The other two handles, silver coloured, I believe are plastic. However, they are made so well that I could only tell that by touch initially/by the temperature contrast between the handle and the two brackets either side that holds the handle. (They are definitely metal.) I normally worry about plastic instead of metal, but they all feel solid and long-lasting. The grey one will last forever unless it takes a serious knock, which is extremely unlikely if never checking it in. The silver handles, I can imagine might fail after a decade or two from fatigue, but a) that wouldn't stop the case being wheeled about, and b) in the event replacements can't be sourced (which is very likely I think, given this is not an established brand) I'm mentally prepared to craft my own replacements out of other materials. The handles have a fairly cool feature as well, similar to soft close on kitchen unit doors; when released, they slowly creep down until returning to their natural positions over about 3-4 seconds.
The grey bottom corner sections to which the wheels are connected, and the main body of the wheels themselves, are plastic. Looks sturdy though, although I do wonder about the long-term re: the wheels themselves. I doubt exact replacements would be available, but might still be possible to replace them with something of the same general design. I'd say the wheels are the possible weak link in terms of long-term reliability.
I just weight myself empty-handed, then with the case in hand, and the difference was 4.3kg to the nearest 100g.
