I believe all of them have the Beech handle and there are none with S/S handle

Unfortunately, on this Amazon Standard Identification Number (ASIN) there is no guarantee on what wood color you may receive. Its a circumstance that we as a Seller have no control over due to the way this original ASIN was set-up long ago. If you want a specific color and all of them to match, type these ASIN (numbers) in the search field on Amazon depending on which wood you want: B00HXMOBW6 for Cherry, B00CRQ0AD2 for Oak, B005ZOF2W2 for Ash and B00F1WLBTG for Black Walnut. String Swing hangers are proudly made in the USA and guaranteed for life when you buy from an Authorized Retailer like EZPICKN, unfortunately some of the Sellers on Amazon are not. Its simple to protect yourself, simply go to the store locator at the String Swing website to verify you are buying from an Authorized Retailer. Your Friends at EZPICKN

The color is exactly as the picture shows...all painted steel is white, all padding and handles are black. The vertical handle appearance may be slightly different from the picture

I'd say probably not. Mine came with a dark cherrywood finish but I know there were different finishes available.

It's not too bad. If you like a larger handle this is perfect with a traditional wood feel. Just tighten it and your good to go

The two I got both came with cork handles off Amazon, but the picture does not look like cork....

No, the knives are all 18/10 stainless steel and are highly polished (mirror finish) and very well balanced plus a very good length. Personally, I did not want wood. Polished stainless goes with just about anything and don't have to worry about wood fading or showing wear. These will last forever! I've had for a year and you really can't tell that they've ever been used! Hope this helps. J

Even though it doesn't say "Fibrox" for them, the picture shows the handles the same. The non-Fibrox handles (Redwood) that they make are much more expensive and must be hand washed. Recommend keeping them if you like the knives. They are good ones and the Fibrox handles hold up well and are comfortable to use.

It is certainly NOT a steel tubular handle. Mine is some type of wood handle painted gray.

I'm guessing it's beech, given its light color and smooth grain. It seems hard enough, though I haven't given it hard use. I carry it in a AA Maglight nylon holster.

Strait up no! This knife is 1095 carbon and begins to rust after just a few hours of being wet, further more the handle would not take the abuse of batoning and other stresses. Look at a blackbird with micarta grips, more expensive but well suited for the job

This wok is heavy, and to me it's effective to manipulate the wok and clean it with one hand. The wooden handle still in perfect shape after a couple years, I use it on a ceramic stove top. I never had or used a wok with steel handles, so I can't compare.

I have the cherry oak stain. It is good quality and not chip board or anything cheap. I love mine

If you are looking for a brushed finished then vibrant stainless will be what you are looking for. Whatever you do, do not get chrome. Hope this helps

I think there are two different woods, (Beechwood and hardwood. Beech is pretty hard.), but I can't tell a difference. The biggest handle difference that I've seen were the plastic handled Opinels in France. I figured they would be easy to buy on the internet, but I haven't seen them.

I don't know. Maybe you can contact the manufacturer and find out. Just don't over tighten the wood screws on the legs or you will strip it out. But is nice and sturdy. Love the stain resistant finish. Best deal I could find on one.

Yes it is, I've done the saga and a few others that claimed to be stain ready, but this one is really bare wood when you get it. The maple is a veneer so I would be careful not to over saturate if using water based. Wouldn't want the top lifting off.
