It's most likely your handles are stainless steel, though the shanks and back half may be brass w/plating. It is possible to dismantle them an repair them, but it takes a lot of time, and patience and not always successful (sometimes the stainless splits in spite of your best efforts) Plating does not like to stick to stainless, as do few solders.
Time to watch the swap meets, these handles used to show up quite frequently, but I'll admit it's been a decade since I was looking for them!
