Are the handles sealed well? do they take in water while washing?

The handles are sealed well. What I would advise is never to put back the knife in the holster as soon as it's washed as water will seep through the holes and overtime can be unsanitary as bacteria will grow.

All the knives are full tang (metal portion goes the full length of the handle). The handles are actually 2 pieces attached with flush rivets to the side of the blade. There is really nowhere that water can collect. The handles are a very dense. I can't tell if it is a plastic or hard wood, but the finish is very good.

We've had no problems, including rust to which reviewers had referred. Still sharp and appreciated in the kitchen. The handles are slim, but we're not big people. We like them. Would certainly buy them again.

Yes, they are fairly sturdy plastic with heat sealed edges, I believe. I would suggest only hand washing.

No, I haven't had any issues with water getting in them. I love this whisks though! Nicely weighted and great variety of sizes.

No, not at all. I washed my newest set before using them for the first time & they did great. I have a set that I've had for about 12 years now that are still perfect.

No. Our only concern about the handles is that they are quite short. Other than that, they are fine.

Seems you've gotten lots of answers already...and they are correct. I will say that they are a very easy knife to hold and that they have a good weight to them. I'm extremely pleased with mine. I do hand wash them and dry them right away. They seemed to water spot if left to dry on their own.

Sorry not to be able to tell you. They are washable but not entirely waterproof. I love the gloves and have taken care not to get oil or grease on them, unfortunately for your answer. Parts of the gloves are leather, apparently of good quality, for whatever implications that fact may hold for you.

Yes, they are. Wash them well in soapy water and dry thoroughly. I use mine several times.

I wash them without any trouble at all. I have a couple sets that I swap out while one is drying, so far so good.

I have had mine for about a year, and wash them by hand, hot soap and water, then air dry, and they are doing fine. I don't put any of my wood utensils in the d/w.

Yes there are seals, they are a soft kinda silicone stretchy type rubber that are ribbed and you can remove them without any problems when you need to wash them

No need to wash. They are ready to use. They swell up with water. I stored them in 1 gallon glass jars and just used them.

I've been using mine daily for about 3 months now and the handles don't get dirty. I've spilled some stuff on them and was able to wipe it clean without issue.

I wash them weekly in the washer with my clothes, so they should be fine in that regard. They aren't waterproof, per se, more like..resistant. In my line I get a lot of fuel on my hands and this keeps most of it off, but there is definitely a dampness.
