Does the knife have a weighted solid handle or is it hollow?

It seems like it is solid. It certainly is heavy. I really like the set. They clean well in the dishwasher. I use them for everyday use.

They have a solid handle. The only problem I have with them is that after washing in the dishwasher I find rust spots on several of the peace's if I had it to do over I would not get this item.

The handle is not abnormally heavy. I really like the design and feel. If you do buy it make sure you really slam the handle into the blade. otherwise it will be wobbly.

Welp, I can't say for sure but I imagine the handle is hollow. Take the answers of the other guys commenting. The butt end of the knife has a clip to attach to an AR barrel. The knife is likely hollow but there is no open end to it.

Not heavy. Handle comes off just by slight squeeze together. Then pick up blade portion by bar on back.

This is a really good, solid, made-in-USA knife. The knife weighs 15 oz. The sheath weighs 7 oz. 22 oz. total. Bob

It's solid. From SOG website: "The full tang runs out the back of the glass-reinforced handle and into a glass breaking point." The hollow survival knives are a gimmick. You need a solid knife so you can us it with a baton (large piece of wood, preferably dowel shaped) to split wood for kindling or other needs.

It's heavy compared to stamped knives (like the cheap ones you can get at a grocery store), but not heavy compared to other forged ones (like Wussthof or some of the nicer grocery store ones).Also, it takes so much less force to cut through stuff, it's really not a hindrance at all. Especially because it's very well balanced. I like the weight quite a lot.

The blade and handle are from the same piece of metal - the knife is one solid piece.

Hey sorry for the late reply. It's a half serrated stainless steel blade. Handle is high quality material. Not sure bout the handle but it has done weight to it. Hope that helps answer your question

Not to my knowledge. I just went to my drawer and picked a knife up to check. It feels too heavy and sturdy to be hollow. They are heavy weighted towards the back. Hope this helps.

The description says 2 pounds and I believe it! It's good and solid and much heavier than ones you find in the stores. I love the handle.

It is very light. It weighs under 1 pound ten ounces on my postal scale. There is also a foamlike grip that you can slide up and down the handle that will adjust to your preference. Notice that, unlike some other models, there is no excessive hardware at the end - only the cutting jaws - that makes it seem even lighter. And in my opinion, the less stuff at the end the better. Even though the jaws don't rotate, I find it easier to get in and out of areas and make the cut I want.

They are solid. They are one-piece handles, flatter and much heavier than the two-piece hollow handles. (Unfortunately, because of their extra weight, I find them easier to drop. I prefer the hollow handles on my original set, vintage 1986. Oh well...)

It is hollow but built very solidly. I have pulled my boat with it several times with no issue. I strongly recommend this product if an extension arm is needed.
