The pictures on the Kabar site show it with a thick plastic handle, but Amazon displays an all metal handle. Which is it?

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.

That's the other TDI Law Enforcement Knife that Ka-bar sells. It is available in two sizes, w/ scabbard meant to be worn clipped to the pants belt (hidden behind mag pouches on a duty belt). I carry both, with this much smaller TDI on the boot. I hope that helps.

I went online to the Ka-Bar website and could not find a version of this knife with the thick plastic handle that you mention. The only other knife in this TDI lineup that features a thick plastic handle is the Law Enforcement Knife (which is a different knife altogether, featuring two fixed-blade variants with two edge choices, each). I would presume that you could make handles, but since it is such a tiny knife, you may be better off either cord-wrapping the handle (perhaps with paracord that has had its core removed) or leaving it bare. I hope this helps.

I am not familiar with the other model. This one has a metal core part with a metal screw and part of the handle is metal, but it is basically covered in hard plastic.

I agree with Rocco's answer. The handle on the Ka-Bar is leather wrapped. It looks nice with the leather sheath that it comes with. This model is more of a hunting style than "tactical". Ka-Bar does make quality tactical knives if that's what you're looking for.

I've only seen the one handle. But to answer your question, the same wooden handle as pictured in the ad.EDIT: I think I understand what you are asking. The pictures of the customized handle were added by a customer and not actually what is being sold. The un-customized handle that is in the ad picture (first picture) is the one that you will get.

It is solid metal. However, it comes with three sets of handles for you to choose from: all chrome, "crystal" plastic, and white ceramic. The ceramic handles are downright dangerous, prone to breaking almost explosively. An otherwise high-quality set, though.

Its plastic. And very weak. The metal only goes into the plastic handle for about 1/2". Mine snapped in half, I just posted a couple of photos.

Plastic handle with metal punch. I've pried in things with it and it's held up. I wouldn't recommend doing that though since it isn't designed for it.

No clue. The handle is metal however. It looks good and feels good, but is crap. Used German razors just to make sure it is not the razors that are bad.

Welded. There's an identical model with a welded iron handle but I know of only one US vendor who carries it and it's about 2X the price of this one.

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 one with just one handle is what I received. Good pan so far; I've used it about a dozen times, no metal utensils used, and the coating is holding up perfectly. Cleans up very easily too. It has not warped either.

I think the whole thing (besides the plastic handle) is stainless steel, based on its description from all the sites I looked at.

You can see in the picture that there's a metal bar across the center of the basket that is the handle.

I have no idea. If your talking about the handle I wondered the same this. I even compared it to the photos from the actual company website. I have only purchased the red one, still holding up great.

Hi Susan, I ordered and received the one shown in the picture. It has rubber on the rolled steel metal handles. If this isn't the item you ordered call customer service and/or the 800 number.
