Is the handle on this hard and durable????

It's a hard black plastic. Should be durable but might break, chip or crack if you drop it. Looks like either side would be easily replaced.

The handle is plastic. Haven't dropped it off my picker yet, but I have a feeling it would shatter. Hope this helps...

Yes, I have been carrying it around in my pocket for several months now without any problems. I haven't had any issues with the handle at all. It is a metal handle wrapped in hard plastic.

It's not my favorite handle material, but I highly doubt you'd ever have any durability issues. Handle is thick and heavy.

Joseph,The knife overall is great! Yes the handle is hard and durable. I ordered this Kershaw and it has quickly become my go to blade. You won't be disappointed with this knife.

I can't truly attest to that as I've only had it a short time, but it certainly feels so. According to kershaws website it is made of glass-filled nylon, which I know they make firearms frames of, so I have no doubt it will take a beating without trouble

Yea its solid. I've used it to bang on battery terminals.... a few other things and yes its durable.

The handle is smooth. I actually was wondering the same thing before i bought it. And this razor has a really nice well built feel to it. It doesn't feel like a cheapie $10 job. I would recommend getting a soft case or a stand with it.

Yes it seems to be durable. It is a thick quality plastic. You will need to trim the body, it comes pressed with area that must be trimmed.

Yes it is. The bottom is very thick. About three times thicker than the side. The handles are also SS and are attached very securely. I've used mine about 4 times and I may order another one like it.

No, it is a hard plastic. Or something. The blade is very sharp and forged metal. Very nice. Not a toy. Handle with caution.

Yes, it is. But it seems to be pretty durable. I've been using this for over a year, subjecting it to heat, rough handling etc, and it is still going strong.

I agree that the handle is below average for use on wear and tear. It breaks easily, although I do not even use my set anymore after the first couple of tries. If memory serves me correctly I thought the warranty covered parts for 1 years..but not completely sure. Sorry you are going through this. In future, I would HIGHLY recommend changing to the blue rubber type cups where you use your hand only to apply. They take some getting use to also, but in the long run they are worth the investment I think. Good luck.

It is quite durable! I would suggest not hitting the handle though, since that is where the speaker for the sound effects is. The blade can take quite a beating though!

We have not had a problem with the handle coming off. So far it has been very sturdy.

I have two of these, both of which have have taken some abuse, and had no issues with the handle.

Its pretty tough. Its taken some abuse and still works fine. The great thing is that its replaceable anyways.

Not really... I ended up returning it. After one month the handle kept popping off.

It's very portable and durable. I take mine to work Monday through Friday. It has a handle you can use to carry it with easily and an optional strap if you wish to carry it hanging on your shoulder. As for durability, I've only dropped it a couple of times on the carpet with no damage. Not sure about hard surfaces. The plastic/vinyl top and bottom helps with the damage control.

I really have no idea. So far I have not broken the handle on my tool. It seems quite strong, even when hitting the handle first when I throw.

Not hard at all. There are side handles just below the lid handles which makes it very easy to carry. I'm very happy with this product.

The handle on mine is plastic. It is hard, durable plastic. This unit is constructed very well. I bought mine about 9 months ago, and I use it almost daily. It does not get hot, works great, and is made in the USA!

Yes, the handle has an excellent textured rubber grip,. Even when wet, grip is very hardy.
