Are the knife handles wood? Are the knife handles wood? Or hard plastic polymer?Do they look and feel like wood, or do they look and feel like hard plastic?

They are made of bakelite - a lightweight thermosetting phenolic resin (plastic)Bakelite is non-conductive and heat resistant. In the old days, telephones, radios and such where made out of it. Hard to break and very damage resistant. I'm not sure how these handles "feel" however, I think they have some kind of texturing, but I would doubt they felt much like wood.

Not cheap and rubbery, but hard and smooth with a fine, brush textured finish

Plastic ... and they worked pretty good ... I bought them to cut my buddies Dog . I 'm thinking I may need to get Sheep Sheers ...LOL

I have used it off and on for a few months and have not yet damaged it in any way. It appears to be made from fairly durable plastic. It is not bad as a very basic knife.

Hi, the knives are as described and pictured. They are very sturdy and the knives are a sleek design with the blade and handle flowing into one unit without an annoying wooden handle like other knives. They are very sharp and we really put them to the test with this past Thanksgiving holiday and they sliced and diced through everything with ease! My husband is still 100% satisfied with the knives and says this is his best gift by far. Hope this helps with your decision!

Polymer I believe. They are definitely a plastic of sort but not that cheap China stuff. I am very happy with these grips.

Hello:The handle is not squishy, its solid. It feels great. Easy to use. Blade is super sharp. I like the knife a lot. Feels like good quality.

They are awesome knives, plastic handles instead of wooden that the classic has and not as heavy.

The one I ordered had a wood handle pictured and that's what I received. I think you'd be happy with any of the Mora knives. This is my first one, but at these prices, it won't be my last!

They are lightweight yet very durable.I am not sure why they mention plastic because they look and feel like bamboo. Perhaps there is some plastic embedded in the bamboo so the wood doesn't warp when you wash it in the dishwasher.

It is hard plastic. The same material as the handles. I am not sure of the exact content of the plastic, but it feels like all of my other BPA free plates.

They are very sturdy for disposable cutlery. I've been using them for years. I even wash and reuse them a couple of times and the knives actually cut because they are serrated, unlike most plastic knives. It's definitely a good product. Good luck.

Not sure what it is made of, but it was a very nice looking knife. Got it for my grandson and he was very happy with it.

The dowels feel like wood to me. Regardless, this item is a great way to hold your knives. Nice to have my knife block off the counter top. I love this knife block!!

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.

Hard plastic. I used them for awhile and one has already broken. The brush snapped off the handle. Hope this helps!

Well, they are not replaceable on the one I received. They are like a rubber type material and when oil or water gets on them, they are very slippery. I can't tighten them enough to hold the knife sturdy. I am thinking of removing the rubber and trying it or replace with something that isn't slick when oil gets on it.I hope this answers your question.

The handles are a man made material, but they are a mat color and not slippery. They almost feel like wood though they are not wood.
