What material is the handle made of?

It appears to be some kind of industrial plastic that doesn't melt. I only used the poacher once and I'm about to re-sell it so it's packed away at the moment. Sorry I'm not more helpful.

Same as the rest- Teflon coated metal. It gets hot so you have to use a pot holder to lift it out of water

The handle is plastic. The heater coil seems to be stainless steel (It never rusts)

The handle is extremely strong. It's nylon that's glass fiber reinforced. Great knife by Kershaw for EDC.

The handle is plastic (delrin, etc) with a rubberized coating that is great for gripping. My knife is about two years old and the coating has worn off in places from sheath contact. Would replace the handles if I could find new ones.

The handle is rubberized and offers great grip. Not sure if there is plastic under it though.

They are made of bakelite - a lightweight thermosetting phenolic resin (plastic)Bakelite is non-conductive and heat resistant. In the old days, telephones, radios and such where made out of it. Hard to break and very damage resistant. I'm not sure how these handles "feel" however, I think they have some kind of texturing, but I would doubt they felt much like wood.

The handle is made out of wood, and the black thing is metal. The knife itself is very nice, but watch your fingers bro.

I gave it as a gift to my son in law, but he said the handle is graphite and the rings metal...he loves it!

The handle is made of a very hard, thick and substantial plastic substance. I am not concerned about it breaking. It's great and the gear mechanism makes easy to squeeze.

The handles are made from a decent quality silicone. Provide excellent grip and do not get hot. It is riveted although it does not go all the way through to the inside.

The handle is made up of a plastic/almost foam like substance. It is firm, soft to hold on to and softens the shock to your wrist when stricking an object that is very solid . I am a middle aged woman and I love it.

The handle is metal, very light gage aluminum, I think. It is not a really high-polished item. It's solid quality, just not very pretty.

It has a plastic cap above the handle and the handle itself is made of wood, a real light color wood like pine wood. Fills good in your hand. Light weight. Nice knife for the price. Made in Japan.

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 feels "rubbery" and is quite comfortable to hold. There is a long, decorative metal piece on the top surface of the handle.
