are the handles sturdy on these knives. I have heard complaints that some knife sets have handles that break really easy.

Very good quality, sturdy, and sharp! Only complaint is the block.. Mine was missing a rubber foot. And the steak knives are serrated so they rub as you plave them into their slots. Overall a great buy tho!

The handles seem sturdy enough to me. I haven't had any issues with the handles. Although, somewhat recently I dropped one of the smaller knives and it snapped at the blade.I would still recommend the set, though.

I am very happy with these knifes. Very sturdy and sharp. Better than I expected! Great price too.

They are amazingly sturdy! My husband and I were skeptical also but as soon as we held one of these knives we were sold! The handles are heavy and fit nicely in your hands.

I have been very happy with these knives. They are very sturdy and sharp. I have been washing them in the dishwasher with no problems at all. My family loves this set.

I take very good care of these knives. I hand wash, dry, and put back in the rack. That said, I don't know how a better knife could be made. Triple rivet construction, forged steel blades, etc.. There are knives with very high quality steel, but you wil pay a premium for those. This is a very good value set.

Mine are fine. I've only had them for a few months but the handles look like they did when they were new. I don't put mine in the dishwasher very often and that might be why they are coming apart on them if they put them in the dishwasher.

I really don't know. This is the 1st set of quality knives I have ever purchased. I am thrilled with them, and regret not spending the money sooner. But I am not knowledgeable about knives and I made my purchase decision based on reviews and online research.

Hello, these knives are made from a one piece design, and the handle is thinner than a normal steak knife, so even though they may fit into the slots, they might fall out. But they are still worth buying as they are very sharp and sleek. Just keep them in your drawer.

They were sturdy--we weren't using them to cut steak but they held up as well as any of the heavy plastic utensils do and they looked nice. We were having a cocktail/appetizer type fundraiser that we wanted to be as upscale as we could and still use disposable table ware. They still feel like plastic when you hold them (versus real silver) but the table set up looked good. Hope this helps.

I have had the knife set for 11 months and they have all been in the dishwasher many, many times with no problems. If I remember correctly the manufacturer recommended hand washing and drying them right away. I guess that is the proper knife cleaning procedure for any knife. We use ours way to much to be that fussy all the time so in the dishwasher they go. Sometimes I will hand wash if only one is used but so often we have many out at the same time which would be a lot of work cleaning them by hand constantly. We really like the knife set and they are holding up very well.

I've had these whisks now for about 6+ months and I've never had a problem with them at all. The handles are great and they don't rust if you forget and leave them in water. Definitely worth spending a little extra for these!

They are very sturdy. Basically normal stainless steel cutlery but with a hole for hanging. Very nice looking set also.

From the weight of them, I believe they would have solid handles, but can't be 100% sure. But I can say they feel very well weighted in the hand and are fabulous knives. I can highly recommend them to anyone.

I've been using this set for over a year now, and the handles haven't gotten hot. I don't grab them down by the base, but I have used the big pot to cook things assembly-line style, and have never had a problem. I really love these pots.

I agree with those who have posted already. The handles are nylon. It is still a great knife for the money. I carry it everyday over many other much more expensive knives I own.

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.

There is no plastic. The handles are solid metal and appear to be either forged or welded to the blade. I don't think these will ever break.

I have had mine for about a year and they are still my favorite knives. They don't show a lot of wear and I use them for everything. Still clean cuts. I wash them in the dishwasher sometimes too. Very good product.

I chop and slice every day on one or more of them, using quality steel honed cutlery. I occasionally see small traces of knife edges, but nothing as you describe. I also put them in the bottom of my dishwasher on normal cycle and they have held up well.

They are very good knives, very sharp and you can cut/peel quickly. The only thing is my scissors broke within the first month. I love the knives thou!!!

Yes, the handles are on pretty strong and are comfortable. As long as you dont plan on swinging it around with full force, you should be good.
