It is plastic. The entire item is plastic. Also, I returned the one I purchased because I thought it included both halves of the Star Wars Darth Maul Ultimate Lightsaber. IT DOES NOT. When you read the outside of the package, it says that you have to purchase 2 to put together to create the complete Lightsaber. Just FYI.

The pole itself is made out of metal, the handle is rubber, and the mount is plastic. Good product!

The handle is black plastic or same material as the black top you see in the picture.

Plastic, but its very durable. And does not get hot at the portion you hold it.. I have left my machine running for a few hours (several water changes) and the handle portion never got too hot to hold.

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

All metal. Rubber over the metal handle. Feels solid in the hand. It will handle alot of abuse.

Yes, the outside of the handle is plastic, but I believe the actual handle mechanism is metal. When you're opening it, the motion feels solid so at least the innards is metal. If someone tries to turn the handle without knowing the combination, there's a feature that is meant to allow the handle to still turn without engaging the bolts. This is a security feature.

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

The handle is hard plastic. But it is a very nice machete. Great for removing Barbarian heads upon the battlefield.

The handle is plastic, but the grinding part is metal. One down notr to this product is the handle tightens up and then it's hard to turn. The solution I found was to unscrew the top part and turn it.

The handle is plastic and very grippy. We store it in a knife block with Wusthof knives and it looks ok.

I can't tell you what metal ..but the part of the handle that is black is rubber making it easier to grip ..the rest of the handle is metal.

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.

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.

The pin is metal but the handle is plastic. The metal shaft bends so be careful not to put too much force on it.
