The cutlery is metal, except the knives which are plastic due to Australian regulations.

Just got around to reading this; an excellent overview, many thanks for taking the time to post it.
What a shame about the plastique cutlery; the only thing I could possibly improve upon for what seemed to be an otherwise faultless experience.

The Australian Government changed its security regulations last year, all airlines had to use plastic knives, not just QF. It took QF some time to organise replacement knives that match their Marc Newson designed cutlery.

At least the plastic knife that QF sported is fairly solid and has more strength than the plastic knife I used on BA.

Was all set to take the CX N/S CDG-HKG until I accidentally stumbled upon an F award seat available on the QF A380 LHR-SIN! Taking the long way to HKG now and this report has made me even more excited! Thanks!
