Is the handle made with a silicon cover?

I'm certain the handle cover is silicon, no transfer of heat thru it at all. True to Cool Breeze's comments, they probably could design the silicon cover to go all the way to the spout to avoid getting burned when your hand slides forward. And it will. It did for me several times. Still... love this kettle!!!

I don't know if it's silicon (I'd say it's probably synthetic rubber), but it does keep the handle cool to the touch. The only small problem is if your hand slides forward when pulling the lever -- the metal part of the handle will, of course, be HOT.

My guess, it's a rubberized silicon blend of some sort. It stays cool, grips well and makes hanging on to a hot pot easy. The more I use this pot the better I like it. Use it every day. Heat water for tea and coffee.

I believe that it is but if it's not it certainly protects you from the heat like silicone. I've had it for several months and really have found no negatives.

Whatever it is you will find it to protect your hand. I love my kettle. Stays on my cooktop all the time. Top quality product.

The handle is a very hard durable plastic. One that doesn't tear up your hands.

The material in the handle is aluminum, it's not a high end carbon paddle or anything like that.

I'm not certain of the materials used for the handle, but its not brass. Regardless, I am very happy with this faucet in every way. Hope this is helpful. Let me know if you need more details.

It's made out of aluminum with a stainless steel handle. We're very pleased.

Hi Andy. No the handle is a very thick and strong metal. Two small carriage bolts hold it to the top case. It is tall enough for the power cord and the charge cables to fully wrap around for storage.

My handle is NOT wood! It's got some kind of silicone covering over it so it doesn't get too hot. We have the GSI as pictured

It appears to be ,but the handle is covered so I can't tell for sure. I would say yes.

Hello L Grooms - it does come with a cover which is silicone and it's made in China. Best wishes - Mike.

The 'blades' are silicone, but I am not sure about the handles. The handles are harder (but slightly flexible) plastic. I don't think they are silicone.

No. This has a stainless colored blade. I think the "black" in the title is referring to the black g10 handle.

It seems to have afibrox handle, although I'm no expert, it is a unique material, it is very hard and resistant to chipping. It has kind of a grainy texture yet it is smooth and easy to grip.

The handle is metal with a heat resistant silicon grip. It is not oven safe.

The black handle is made of some type of plastic, however, I have no idea what it is. You'd have the ask the manufacturer.

I'm not sure if it is, but take this into consideration. The handle is solid aluminum and most like fused with the blade. Plus, the company is Cold Steel. This is designed by a company that backs their knives 100%.

Yes, it is a handle. But the hole is because it is also a Carbon filter spot. I will double check when I get home to see if water would go through it but I'm guessing it will because its just a carbon sheet and a not very sealed cover.
