Does the knife have a hollow handle? If it is hollow, does it have a hefty feel to it?

It does have a hollow handle, but does not have that hefty feel that denotes high quality stainless steel.

Yes it has a hollow handle & yes it has a very hefty feel to it. I really like this silverware.

Sorry, haven't weighed it, but it has some heft/weight. It' not plastic and I don't think that it's hollow.

I have the gerber and it is a very nice knife. It feels extremely good in my hand. And it's got a rubbery handle that wont slip out of your hand. And it comes very sharp. And it's a solid not flimsy

The blade is relatively strong, but because the handle is plastic, it doesn't leave you with a secure feeling. There are better knives out there that are either the same price or slightly more expensive. I wouldn't purchase this knife again.

I bought this and it feels quite solid, but a little heavy. I have not whacked anything yet, but should a burglar come in, ill let you know how it handles. Honestly though, it came quite sharp and I feel it would be just fine if needed as a weapon

It is very comfortable to hold and smooth to the touch. Because the blade is so thick and long, and I also don't believe this knife is full tang, the handle is very lightweight in comparison to the rest of the knife. I was not disappointed with the quality of the handle. Remember this knife is usually under $10, so its a great deal I would pay more for it, but it is still a $10 knife. More for show than anything else.

It's certainly not a lightweight, but its weight has never bothered me. And you can be sure that's a tough knife that isn't going to break on you!

The handle has the series of straight line grooves in the handle as in the benchmade website photo. It handles well and has a good feel to it. Not as good of grip as a rubber handle, but enough of a grip to keep it from easily slipping from your hand. Finger groove helps tremendously, but does not deter a reverse grip if needed, for skinning game or defensive tactics.

That's a good Question. From the looks of it, probably not. I still like it and it has a high "wow" factor. It would be the one knife I would want it I had one to choose.

It has a shallow radiused hollow grind with a secondary edge grind. In my opinion this allows the knife to be robust enough for chopping yet have a thin enough edge with for slicing.

It is actually nice. The knife is all one piece of metal including the handle but given the diameter and taper it's not too bad. The only thing that bugs me is the weight which is light for a knife this size. However, the price and ability of the knife make it really fun to play with and you won't have any type of remorse. Hope this helps.

This knife has a stamped steel blade (not forged), so it has a slight spring to it. For the knife's size and its intended purpose it is just about perfect. This is a great knife for slicing, chopping or trimming smaller sized veggies and meats. Very sharp and it holds its edge. High quality and a good value. Hope this helps.

It's pretty thick. The blade is 3/16 inch thick. Feels really solid in the hand. good knife for the price.

Yes it is hollow. My dog has chewed it up quite a bit, but it still retains its shape. However, the handle had been destroyed.

The way it is constructed, it is difficult to realize if it is full tang. However, I read reviews that say it is full tang. I would suggest you to go over those reviews if you have doubt. Again, I used a magnet (not very powerful for testing) to feel the tang on the handle and it felt like it is full tang. You could do the same with a powerful magnet.Good Luck.

Yes this knife is a little heavier. It has the rosewood handle and has a bit more heft than the Fibrox knife.
