Are the handles well made? They look pretty cheap in the picture. Thank you

The photo is misleading. The handles are very sturdy. My only complaint it that they are not ergonomically designed. I would re-buy this set in a heartbeat, regardless.

They are very sturdy, very well made, kind of like a real hard rubber, not junky plastic. Susan M.

No, the handles are pretty solid. I've dropped them more than once and they didn't break or chip. So no the handles are made pretty well.

Mine seem to be very well made! The handles are nicely shaped and easy and comfortable to grip. Like all ceramic knives, if you drop them, they are easy to break. I have several ceramic knives and none are as razor sharp as these are. I would buy these again!

The ones I have used so far are completely smooth. The edges aren't sharp but they are thin plastic so I guess they could be, it would all depend upon your definition of sharp. I have had no problem with them other than I wish the handles were a little longer.

No the handles are not cast iron, but they work great. I was completely satisfied with them.

The handles are urethra plastic and appear to be sturdy. I have looked for these spatulas for a good while and am delighted with these.

They are made of a heavy metal. Not sure what kind of metal. They are very nice handles and would recommend them to anyone.

The handles are made out of wood. For the price of $10 they are actually pretty good brushes that I will take with me when traveling. Also note, this that set does not come with the foundation which is a bummer. If you are looking for MAC quality or Sigma quality brushes obviously these do not compare to those high-end brushes. When traveling, I prefer not take my expensive brushes.

Yes, they are nicely weighted and handle and sit very well. Very nicely crafted pieces!

No, I'm quite certain they are not. While I do think they are still a great value for the price, the wood handles are not as smooth as le creuset spatulas and actually have splintered slightly. The spatula heads however are still in great shape and I do use them daily so perhaps a litte mineral oil would have been beneficial on the handles from the start.

I purchased the set as a gift, so I don't have access to it now, but when I checked them out right after receipt, the handles all seemed fine to me. I have had my Victorinox Forschner knives for a number of years now. The handles of my paring knives are not labeled, but the handles are the same material as the larger knives. If the knives with unlabeled handles feel OK, I'd keep them. On the other hand, if the unlabeled knives have smoother, less grippy handles, I'd return them.

No. They are a fixed height. My wife is 5'4" and I am 5'10". We both feel the handle height is perfect. Unless you are extremely tall or very short, the handles should work well.

The handles seem sturdy enough to me. I haven't had any issues with the handles. Although, somewhat recently I dropped one of the smaller knives and it snapped at the blade.I would still recommend the set, though.

It was bought as a gift to someone as such I didn't inspect it too much .. but I believe the handles are not of foam material but hard plastic. Hope this helps.

Yes, the handles are on pretty strong and are comfortable. As long as you dont plan on swinging it around with full force, you should be good.

Yes they are. They are very sturdy and look very good. In fact for me they are a so smooth that sometimes when i pick one up to turn it over , it is a little slippery. Like

I think these handles were a great price for the quality. They don't feel cheap and I feel like I could pull on a heavy drawer no problem. Each handle has two screws so just make sure if you have pre existing holes that the distance between them is 2 1/2 inches :) super easy

The handles are fine and show no problems even with substantial ice and full drink. I believe the inside is smooth, and the brads are on the outside.
