Is the Handle made of plastic or some kind of fiber. Mostly I'm looking for some one to tell me if the Handle has a good grip or is it slippery?

The handle isn't slippery. It's made out of metal & some sort of fiber. We really like it and don't have any problems with the grip. Hope this helps you!

I haven't had problems with handle being slippery, I think it's like a resin composition.

The handle is made from the same quality material as all other J.A. Henckels knives. It is solid, sturdy & the base of the knife handle curves downward to hold your fingers in place. I use this exact cleaver everyday. It's an excellent product & it has never slipped once for me even when chopping thru chicken drumstick bones. There's no other cleaver I prefer to this one.

The handle appears to be phenolic. I have been using the knife to do light chopping (mostly vegetables) for about a year and have experienced no issues with the handle becoming slippery.

The handles are made from a durable, textured plastic. The blade is stainless steel and runs throughout the length of the knife. Nice knife for what you pay

I purchased mine last spring and the handle was made of both metal and plastic. The piece you grip is plastic while the sides that go to the tool are metal. It also rotates easily around the tool which I thought would be a problem but it actually was really convenient I thought. I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again for the price, especially compared to name brand electric jackhammers. I've used it to rip up a basement floor, patio, and sidewalk. All with no issues. Sorry this is more info, I've just been really pleased with this tool.

The handle is made of plastic; the bristles are brass. I was leery of having plastic around a hot grill but I think because of the angle of the brush it is less of a concern. You wouldn't want to lay it on anything hot. So far I like the brush. Go ahead and get it!

The handle appears to be the same material as found on the base. It is molded on and has a rubbery feel so it is non-slip. I have given two of these boxed graters as gifts, one to my son in San Francisco and the other to my daughter-in-law in Fresno and they love them.

It is a metal handle with a plastic grip this item worked great for me as a homeowner. I busted up a side walk about 30' long and my son has used it several times without problems-- just make sure the oil level is kept up it seems to use oil. For the price it is well worth it and paid for itself

The black handle is made of some type of plastic, however, I have no idea what it is. You'd have the ask the manufacturer.

Hello Terry C., yes the handle is rubberized and provides a good grip. I hope this was helpful.

Yes, the handle is made of rubber. However, I've used it on both long and short hair and have never had a problem with hair getting caught around the handle.

The handle is metal. The blade is hard plastic. I used it a few weeks ago for a 2 inch snow and it worked great. Was very pleased with it.

The body is plastic. The handle is more like rubber, but still might be some sort of polymer.

The handle is made of a very hard, thick and substantial plastic substance. I am not concerned about it breaking. It's great and the gear mechanism makes easy to squeeze.

my question is what is the texture of the bar under the grip? is it smooth? or are the grips knurled? (knurled handles are the cross patterns than allows for grip)

It is steel. I use it every day. There is a rubber seal in the lid to help secure it to the base. And the handle is hard plastic.

It is plastic (like a frizbee), with a built in handle (on the back). The one I bought for, for my Grandson, is holding up well (I gave it to him in February). And, he loves it!

The handle on mine feels like metal. I'm not sure what type of metal or if it's a plating but it does seem reasonably durable.

I haven't had any problems with slipping. It has a rubbery feel to it, not a firm plastic feel like a cutting mat. I use it for rolling stuff out, not for cutting on. It is fairly thick but very pliable.
