They are epoxy resin.

From https://www.lecreuset.com/care-and-use.html:

> The black phenolic lid knobs on our Classic range of enameled cast iron are heat-resistant to 390°F / 190°C.

If you pay extra, you can get the same quality metal handles as the Lodge ones have out of the box.

Le creuset also has a range with metal handles. I’ve got one.

The handle on my lodge says “lecruset” because it wasn’t always this way.

You can go to any le creuset shop or outlet and they will give you a form to get metal knobs.
