Mine has a built in metal handle, no plastic. Don't know if they've changed the design since I bought it....

I think the handle is wood but don't quote me on it. Seems pretty substantial.

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.

Mine is white painted wood - seems very strong. But I just noticed on the current product description that it says "Sturdy steel handle". So maybe it's been changed since I got mine last October.

This is the "Best" at any price. The handle is wooden & the newer models seem to be plastic.

The one I got has a wooden handle. Fairly sturdy, still going well after three years of steady-to-heavy use in a professional setting.

Plastic. Well made. Everything we have of modern Brio make is good quality. I don't believe any of Brio's current offerings other than the track is wood.

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

It's a wooden handle. The whole set is great quality for the money, and have helped me (with a good book) tune my first two pianos, upright and a 1923 baby grand, with greater than expected success.

Honestly, Im not sure if its even wood. Feels like wood, sturdy not plastic feeling at all. The handle is a lighter shade than in the picture more orange/brown. I dont really know how great the quality of this knife is, but it looks Awesome! Hope I helped.

Based on the Mason Pearson web site http://www.masonpearson.com/why.html I believe the handle is plastic. They say "The cellulose plastic handle is hand-polished and any sharp edges are removed to make the hairbrush more comfortable to hold. This handle was developed from the original wooden design which we continue to make in small quantities.". It may be plastic, but it doesn't feel cheap or plasticy. The handle is just the right weight and has a very nice feel.
