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.

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

The handles are made out of wood. For the price of $10 they are actually pretty good brushes that I will take with me when traveling. Also note, this that set does not come with the foundation which is a bummer. If you are looking for MAC quality or Sigma quality brushes obviously these do not compare to those high-end brushes. When traveling, I prefer not take my expensive brushes.

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.

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 is aluminum. There are some other plastic parts, but they are durable. I have used one on my wood floors for a year.

If I remember correctly the handle was wood or imitation plastic wood, but the whole Peeler was very lightweight and was not a Back to Basics box or product , but a lighter imitation.

The handle itself is plastic, and the pole attached to the handle is metal. Tough little wagon. I use it in my flower garden.

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

It's a bunch of different wood pressed together with wax in the scabbard and the handle is glued on. The steel was great, not sure which it was. I took it apart and made a new sword.

Its wood, if you're considering purchasing it, I'd be careful with the paint on the handle, its easy to chip.

The handle is metal, very light gage aluminum, I think. It is not a really high-polished item. It's solid quality, just not very pretty.

The entire handle appears to be metal although I do not know what kind of metal. The entire shear appears to be sturdy. I usually clip tree and bush branches very small so I can dispose of them in trash bags. Many of these branches are at least 3/4" thick. I just stuffed about 8 large contractor trash bags full of clippings I made with these clippers. I feel like they still have a lot of life left in them.

I don't know the material the handle has in it. Probably rubber. I like it and it grips well when wet. It comes razor sharp and is very light.

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

The handle is made of DELRIN nylon with a DEER HORN pattern. Just like the original. The Schrade Made in USA was a plastic handle too and so is the China version today. Not quite sure why anyone thinks you can buy a GENUINE deer horn handle knife for under $30 bucks.

the handle is made of composite metal. it will not break unless it is abused.
