does the handle bend down?

Yes it does and in answer to a previous question I discovered that the answer to where the kettle was made was on the bottom of the kettle! It was made in Thailand.

Yes the handle bends down. The entire pot is really nice. You must be careful but it will serve you well if you treat it well and it looks great on the stove when not being used. Give it a try. We love ours.

Yes. The handle is stuff, so it won't flop over, but it will bend down. You can just barely see the silver hinge in the photo.

Yes, it does. It goes all the way down on one side and three-fourths the way on the other. Hope this helps. All the Best.

No. My handle was always loose and couldn't be tightened all the way. It's junk. Pass on it or send it back! It's defective!

No, it does not. However, You can adjust the shoulder strap to shorten it like a hand handle.

Not really... I ended up returning it. After one month the handle kept popping off.

I haven't had any problem with bending handles (but haven't owned them very long). Because of the construction, it would be difficult for bending to occur. The measuring cups are one piece with fairly short handles.

If your asking if the Handle pivots, yes it does. There's a pivot pin about half way up the handle, not a ball, but has the same effect, to keep the loading pure.

No. The tang only goes about 2/3 of the way into the handle, but I use it pretty heavily and it hasn't broken on me. It doesn't wobble either.

No, it doesn't, but the handle folds down. Mine is about 11and 1/4 " with the handle down.

Yes it does. One thing to note, it is heavy and the handle is smooth so it is a little hard to hold.

No...it does't. My handle is ok except the cord handle broken.. I cant wind it up... But still love it.

The handle moves both up and down. But it holds itself either way. Very good.

Yes it does. The handle is attached to the bottom of the top that you leave hanging out when you fold it up.

I have had no problems with the handle. It doesn't get hot and hasn't loosened at all. Please note however that when I tighten the upper portion to the bottom I do not use the handle for leverage. I grip the body of both the top and bottom to tighten. Also what is difficult to see in the pictures is that the black plastic on the handle is made of two pieces which run vertically along both sides of the handle and leaves a strip of the metal exposed. It doesn't seem to affect usability though. It's just something that was not apparent from the photos.

No, it does not bend easily, it's a heavier weight stainless steel than many others I've seen. It's very well-made and we are completely happy with it. We are following instructions and not leaving any flatware in standing water, and separating knives alone in compartment in dishwasher so no scratches happen. Really love this set!!

I really don't know why it would bend. Our unit does not because the handle is very strong. Hopefully you ordered the correct model.

Yes, the handle does fold down which is great for storage. We have been very happy with the purchase.

Yes,but only on the floor. If it's dropped on a bench,in the middle,it WILL bend.
