polished steel
Buffed iron alloy
Polished steel is steel that has been buffed or ground to a smooth, reflective surface.
The phrase often describes a distinctive silvery sheen or mirror-like quality: polished steel appliances, a polished steel blade.
Figuratively, it suggests something sleek, cold, and precise: Her gaze had the hardness of polished steel.
