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

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.

I ordered what was advertised here on webpage, a black fibrox handle. Instead I was shipped a Rosewood handle version, which are actually more expensive. So I think it was just a mistake on their part. I still use it work everyday too.

Just the scales of the handle are wood. They are very thin @.25CM over the metal construction.

The one I have is plastic. I am very pleased with the item. It doesn't feel "cheaply made". I would recommend. It works great for me.

The handle is wood and is just what I need. I'm a wood carver and clamps hold down the vise.

Everything but the handle (plastic) is metal. The slide bar is steel and the miter fence is cast aluminum. Very good quality.

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.

I believe that the handle is made of wood. The only joint is where the head and handle screw onto one another. Once tightened by.hand, the joint stays intact.

The item I received was definitely plastic. Lightweight and it's more durable than the molded wood that I've had in the past. Good luck with your decision.

It has a plastic cap above the handle and the handle itself is made of wood, a real light color wood like pine wood. Fills good in your hand. Light weight. Nice knife for the price. Made in Japan.

I think it is plastic, and I am looking at it right now. It is a good quality and design so that it really looks like wood. I hope this is helpful.

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

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.

sword is actually metal, and handle is wood. Seemed sturdy, but handle broke fairly easily

The knob on the end of the handle is wood. The handle (frame) is chromed, and the top and bottom plate (where the lids sit whiled the unit) looks to be aluminum.
