I get that the handle is plastic, but what material is the blade? is the blade metal?

This information should be changed then in the short description at the top "Includes: Replica Wooden Sword" since the material assumed for the sword would be wood not metal.

the blade is plastic. having shoveled snow many times with various shovels I found this the best I have used. I prefer it to my snow thrower for moderate snow falls say up to six or eight inches. Well worth the money.

The handle is plastic. Don't know if it's ABS or not, but it seems very sturdy and adequate.

It is plated metal as others have stated but it is easy to keep clean. IMO, Merkur razor handles are among the better of the handles currently available. They work great.

Yes, the outside of the handle is plastic, but I believe the actual handle mechanism is metal. When you're opening it, the motion feels solid so at least the innards is metal. If someone tries to turn the handle without knowing the combination, there's a feature that is meant to allow the handle to still turn without engaging the bolts. This is a security feature.

The handle is plastic, and the end of the overflow tube inside the kettle is plastic. the mesh filter is also plastic. but aside from those small pieces, the interior and exterior are metal.

I purchased mine last spring and the handle was made of both metal and plastic. The piece you grip is plastic while the sides that go to the tool are metal. It also rotates easily around the tool which I thought would be a problem but it actually was really convenient I thought. I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again for the price, especially compared to name brand electric jackhammers. I've used it to rip up a basement floor, patio, and sidewalk. All with no issues. Sorry this is more info, I've just been really pleased with this tool.

The one I purchased had a metal handle. I ended up buying another model; one that had a thicker blade and a better handle. I don't really recommend this item.

There is no plastic. The handles are solid metal and appear to be either forged or welded to the blade. I don't think these will ever break.

It's plastic around the outside and some kind of metal for the blades. I don't know exactly what kind but it is not rusting if that's what you're worried about. I love those smaller bite size pieces - use it all the time. :-)

It is a metal handle with a plastic grip this item worked great for me as a homeowner. I busted up a side walk about 30' long and my son has used it several times without problems-- just make sure the oil level is kept up it seems to use oil. For the price it is well worth it and paid for itself

The handle is sort of rubberized and I think the blade is just molded inside of it. Very sturdy, I have cut down trees with it.

The handle is made of plastic and metal. The black parts are plastic, but it's really heavy duty material, better than what they make cars out of.

The end of the handle is plastic as is the clamp turner, but the rest is metal. This hasn't been a problem so far.

It is some sort of plastic. But yes it is quite sturdy. The feature I especially like is that you can adjust the blade for how thin you want something sliced fantastic feature.also when putting it away you can turn the knob so the blade is harmless and you don't have to worry about storing it
