Is the spatula handle firm all the way to the end with the hole in it? If not, how far from the hole end does the internal structure stop?

The spatula handle is firm all the way from the hole end to the middle of the blade part of the spatula. The tapered part of the blade is flexible but the handle is stiff and feels very sturdy. I use it to lift sticky, heavy gluten-free doughs from my Kitchen Aide bowl and have had no problems. Hope this helps you.

It is firm right up to the hole. The hole itself is flexible. The handle does not bend much, maybe a little as it gets thinner towards the blade.

This spatula is flexible at the hanging loop area itself, as well as the distal 2.5 inches (approximately) to the edge of the blade portion. It is stiff between those two areas (approximately 7.5 inches).

The handle is firm and easy to operate. Definitely an improvement from previous model!!!

I gave a little tug on the rubber spatula part and it appears that it could be pulled off. But it's on there pretty snug right now and I haven't owned it long enough to know if it might come off easily as it ages. I've had that problem too, but for as long as the last one was around and for this price...I'm happy to just buy a new one every 5-10 years.

From my earlier review: Semi-Full Tang (tang stops 1 inch before the heel of the handle on this 10.2 knife, blade is 5.8", handle is 4.4). Tang extends ~80% through the handle.

Yes the length of the metal ends at the end of the handle. Clean looking and sharp edge but handle seems smallish in large hands, but would buy again.

In my case, no! Works good for me! But you just take the handle never touch other part .

Yes, as I recall. It's flat and the handle had good length. Seemed well balanced too. It was a great pan all the way around. Just not deep enough for my needs.

Hi, Make sure the taper end of the screws go in from the bottom ( On the flat size that goes agains the food ) Then put the handle on then flat washer and tap. The taps should tighen fully and the handle will be firm. I hope this helps with the problem.

I wondered the same thing before I bought it. The end opposite the circle goes right through the handle.

hm. it seems to hold about a pound fully extended ideally. go above that and you'll suffer some bending. It doesnt seem to have any feature to lock in the smaller segments, you just have to cover the hole with something to keep them from sliding out. Id say the first segment at the handle is about 2 inches in diameter.

personally i had to tighten the rivets on the handle (used a hammer and a punch), and was still not very satisfied with the fit and finish. the slot in the handle seemed like it was cut a little too wide. That said, I soak ALL my wood handled kitchen utensils in mineral oil before using them to help prevent such problems from happening. But alas, all things turn to dust eventually. When it finally becomes a problem, 20 years from now, i will deal with it :)Lastly, if i had it to do over again i would have bought a 5 or 6" spatula. This one is ok, but i miss that extra length sometimes. personally i had to tighten the rivets on the handle (used a hammer and a punch), and was still not very satisfied with the fit and finish. the slot in the handle seemed like it was cut a little too wide.

the center hole tapers. If you're putting a mini bottle in, depending on what you are baking aand it's elasticity, you might have to widen the hole with a thin knife (I did gingerbreads so was pretty firm) but don't think a visual problem in presentation. Form is really nice and unmolding hasn'y been any problem,

handle is neatly welded on both sides...I have been using this sieve and it works admirably even with hottest pasta. I love it

It is totally smooth. Slight intentions on middle ring with grind size adjustment. This is a GREAT kitchen tool!

the black end of the handle is a hard plastic, but is it molded and very durable. don't foresee any issues there.

It is pretty easy to pull the head off. I used a two part epoxy glue with toothpick. Put glue in hole of head then pushed the handle in. Hope this makes it stay on. With or without the gluing I think four silicone spatulas for $13 is an excellent price. Silicone spatulas are one of the handiest kitchen tools, IMHO. Having more than one can be handy too unless you wash everything right after using. Now if I can get my wife to stop poking it around inside our blender when it is running, LOL

If you mean is it sculptured ("cut out") on the top surface than yes it is. The handle is like a slightly chunkier version of a regular All-Clad pan handle. So if you've used All-Clad before and like the handle it'll be fine, if it's not a style you enjoy then it may not be the pan for you.
