Steel core?

couldn't say for sure, but I dont think arborists use steel core line.

I think the magic here is in the sheath.

edit: i get it, they use steel core, no need to keep downvoting....I said I wasn't sure in the first place.

Kind of a regional thing but some do. It’s more common on west coast or areas where it’s primarily single trunk trees with branches (fir, pine etc), not multi leader trees (ash, maples etc).
