Is the handle strong or will it start to come apart after a while?

Its strong been a pretty good knife ...the only thing I dont like is the size of the blade , Its a tad small for my taste

The pic doesn't show but the handle is not shaped at all to feel comfortable in the hand. It's edges are square and very uncomfortable. I took a file and had to smooth down the handle. Don't think it would break though. They used nice wood, maybe Mahogany??? The blade is nice but when closed the knife edge rests on metal in the handle. They need to redesign this one. Other than the poor shape of the handle, it feels solid but I did buy another knife and will use this as a back up. Glenn

The handle pretty strong and sharp to me. I like the price but I have to push hard the knife edge every time I want to close it.

it is fine however it is not as nice as the original USA Made Schrades and the blade sharpens hard

Cheaply made but low price . I gave to my adult son. Buck makes a great smaller filleting knife.

I have had no problems with the handle. It doesn't get hot and hasn't loosened at all. Please note however that when I tighten the upper portion to the bottom I do not use the handle for leverage. I grip the body of both the top and bottom to tighten. Also what is difficult to see in the pictures is that the black plastic on the handle is made of two pieces which run vertically along both sides of the handle and leaves a strip of the metal exposed. It doesn't seem to affect usability though. It's just something that was not apparent from the photos.

I think it is sturdy. I grate bars of soap on it and it doesn't buckle or bend. It has a metal handle which is firmly attached.

I found the handle to be made well - not flimsy at all. You use water and your favorite cleaner. I have a dog and found that when you spin it, it spins out most of the hair. There is another spin mop that has a spinner in the water side of the bucket, too, that will spin more dirt and debris out of the mop. I didn't get that one.

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

No the handle on mine just broke - seems to be too fragile. Had it for about 1 year and loved it otherwise, but it needs to be made out of more durable material.

Yes. I didn't think I would like the handle but I ended up loving it. It doors come off for cleaning though quite easily. When it's on, it's very sturdy.

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

As long as you don't overload it. I travel a lot and it is starting to show wear (screw fell out of handle, handle leather is pulling off of the handle)

Ours doesn't get a lot of use, but I don't see where it would break under normal use. It feels sturdy.

Yes. Just don't swing it around while holding the handle to much, it will come off if abruptly tugged upon.

The handle comes apart into four pieces making it compact for storage. The one I have is good quality and works very well.

I've never had a problem with the handle coming loose however when I use it I place it on a granite countertop as it the whole unit came loose on a wooden table , never budged on the counter though. I truly love this unit works like a charm.

It has some weight to it but not heavy per se. The handle is a nice size so gripping would not be an issue. Unless extremely frail I thi this is a fine product. Good luck.

I can't imagine it coming apart in a good way. We kept it for about six months and then sold it on craigs list. Not the best made, but not many are.

It is pretty sturdy. My dog did chew the handle off in a matter of a few days but the rest is in great shape and I would recommend this for any pet.
