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 out of wood, and the black thing is metal. The knife itself is very nice, but watch your fingers bro.

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

So, the handle is either "solid stainless steel," "metal and rubber-like plastic on one side," "metal insert on one side . . . but plastic on the other three," "metal with a rubber coating for grip," "metal," or "plastic, and very weak." Thanks, folks!

The handle appears to be a hard wood. I LOVE this tool. It makes gardening a joy.

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

It is metal. It's a nice little sander not a lot of HP, good for small work.

The one I purchased had a metal handle. I ended up buying another model; one that had a thicker blade and a better handle. I don't really recommend this item.

The handle is a 2 piece but the metal is tough good quality. I have no concerns with it being a problem. I also like that it has a long handle.

Its a very durable feeling metal. It won't bend or fold for years most likely. Its all one solid piece and the handle part has a textured rubber mold on for grip. It won't slip off either

The handle is made of plastic and metal. The black parts are plastic, but it's really heavy duty material, better than what they make cars out of.

The handle itself is plastic but it is attached to a metal brace that is also the clamp with a non-slip pad. After fives years it's never worked itself loose when the surface is cleaned and properly dry

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

Mine came in a Back to basics box. The handle is wood. the remainder of the tool is metal and a sturdy weight.After reading the comments, I immediately read the directions when it arrived and made the recommended adjustments. I did 50 pounds of apples in an afternoon without difficulty.

The one I received is all metal. The only plastic part is the wheel at the bottom, used to tighten the the vice onto a table. Rubber is used as a pad against the table and as vice jaw pads. And a good little vice it is.

Not sure. The only obvious thing I could see are the rubber feet and the ball joint where it pivots. The handle is solid plastic. hope this helps. My father is still getting good use out of the his. He has a latex allergy and has had no problems.
