What is the handle made out of?

It's called dymondwood. It appears to be almost a rosewood that has been varnished. It's really nice. Does not look or feel synthetic in any way. Go to youtube and search buck ranger skinner for in depth reviews and you'll be able to see exactly how it is. Hope this helps

Dymondwood is basically birch impregnated with resin to make it very strong.

The handle is full tang. So the steel runs right through the handle. The wood is Macassar ebony dymondwood. It is an outstanding knife.

I don't know for sure what the bristles are made of--my guess would be plastic or nylon. The handle is a hollow metal tube. Many reviewers said it bent easily, but I think if used appropriately it is pretty sturdy. I can see how it would bend if you whacked something with it.

The end of the handle is plastic as is the clamp turner, but the rest is metal. This hasn't been a problem so far.

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.

Sonya the scoop is plastic the handles and a strip on the edge are steel. I have one from the late 80s made of aluminum. It is a lot heavier and not more useful. This one is a few years old but has been used much less. I can't really speak to it's durability. It's been used a dozen times or so. A few times in in some very heavy snow and it seems good so far.

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

The handle is made of plastic and metal. The black parts are plastic, but it's really heavy duty material, better than what they make cars out of.

The handle is hollow. I believe it is aluminum coated in rubber. I am traveling now and the knife is at home so I can not verify it.

The handle is hard plastic. But it is a very nice machete. Great for removing Barbarian heads upon the battlefield.

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

The handle is metal. The blade is hard plastic. I used it a few weeks ago for a 2 inch snow and it worked great. Was very pleased with it.

The handle is made of a very hard, thick and substantial plastic substance. I am not concerned about it breaking. It's great and the gear mechanism makes easy to squeeze.

No. It's glass. There is a metal band holding the handle on but the part that isn't glass is plastic.

It's made out of a durable plastic. I love this knife. The sheath allows u to carry horizontally on your was which is nice when u bend over

The handle is made from some kind of resin, I believe. I don't have the grill here to go look, but it is a large, sturdy handle. You can definitely grill with the lid closed...I had looked at another grill and almost bought it til I found out the lid had to remain open. I bought this one instead and I LOVE this grill!! I bought all the inserts, they seem to all work great...I even cook eggs in a regular pan.....just close the lid and let it sit on the pan handle...hope this helps!

The handle is plastic (delrin, etc) with a rubberized coating that is great for gripping. My knife is about two years old and the coating has worn off in places from sheath contact. Would replace the handles if I could find new ones.
