They are made of bakelite - a lightweight thermosetting phenolic resin (plastic) Bakelite is non-conductive and heat resistant. In the old days, telephones, radios and such where made out of it. Hard to break and very damage resistant. I'm not sure how these handles "feel" however, I think they have some kind of texturing, but I would doubt they felt much like wood.

The knives are solid handles and yes there is a serrated edge on the blade. I love this set of silverware!! I bought one for a gift and one for me!!

They're definitely wood, just very smooth. I love mine - it works perfectly.

It's a very hard plastic, I think. It's not wood. The knives are very nice. I've bought two sets for us and 2 sets as a gift. We wash them by hand. I've also bought 4 Accusharp knife and tool sharpeners which work very well. This is the number one rated knife for 10 years by Cooks Illustrated. We love ours.

Yes they are serrated. They work fine however while they look fine in and of themselves, they do look "added" to the sets other knives. Perhaps this is intentional as the other knives are not going to be "placed" on the table. After woning this knive set the best thing I can say is that I would buy it again. Overall a good value. If you buy the set also invest in a quality sharpener for both the serrated steak knives as well as the other knives and this set should last you a long time and give you good service.

They are plastic on wooden handles. My grandson has had his since Christmas 2012 and they have held up great. He still uses them. I couldn't be happier with the complete set.

No they are not. They are as light as the wooden handles. If you're looking for weighted ones you better look for something else.

Yes the handle is rosewood. I currently own one myself and I would highly recommend buying this knife.

Yes, if I can remember correctly they are. I bought this door for a client of mine and the handles were made out of the same metal as the door.

I agree with those who have posted already. The handles are nylon. It is still a great knife for the money. I carry it everyday over many other much more expensive knives I own.

The handles are metal and look just like the ones that cost six bucks apiece. You wont be disappointed.

No they are plastic but it's not smooth so the grip was much better. We had wood before and it got gross way to easily

Hi, the knives are as described and pictured. They are very sturdy and the knives are a sleek design with the blade and handle flowing into one unit without an annoying wooden handle like other knives. They are very sharp and we really put them to the test with this past Thanksgiving holiday and they sliced and diced through everything with ease! My husband is still 100% satisfied with the knives and says this is his best gift by far. Hope this helps with your decision!

Yes, the pieces are wood and of a good quality for the price. We purchased for our grandson and have been very pleased.

Handles are a hard plastic. I do believe its metal rivets. There are nice but I advice that you do not let them set in water. They are better then cheaper knives. But not highest quality. I do love them in my kitchen. Husband loves the steak knives!

The one I got has a wooden handle. Fairly sturdy, still going well after three years of steady-to-heavy use in a professional setting.
