Are the fork handles hollow in the back?

No, not hollow - very well made and sturdy. We bought more to give us service for 12.

I believe so I just remember being disappointed by how cheaply made they were.

I'm not sure what you mean by hollow in the back... The dinner forks, salad forks, soup spoons & teaspoons are not as thick in the handles as the knives... But this is definitely a very nice set of flatware... We are very pleased with ours and would buy them again.

All pieces - except the knives - are stamped from solid 18/10 stainless steel. The knives, however, are made in two parts: the handles are made of hollow 18/10 stainless steel and the blades of 18/0 stainless steel. The absence of nickel in the blades produces a much harder stainless steel which holds its cutting edge longer (but not, perhaps, its lustre). The knife handles are hollow because, for comfort, they need to be thicker than the fork handles but not heavier.

Yes it is hollow. That allows you to shape the cane to slide deeper up into the handle.

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.

They are hollow. I think if they were solid they would be to heavy for a small child to play with they are pretty big.

The edges are smooth. Don't even hesitate when purchasing these forks. You won't be disappointed. I purchased them for the wedding but I am continuing to use them even after. Good quality for the money.

Yes they're hollow, they are the same as a stir stick at a bar. Maybe a mm or 2 wide

Yes they are. I would have liked the handles to be longer, but they are sturdy.

Yes, the forks work great. I bought the heavy duty forks. The only issue I had was, I picked up a very heavy load and it bowed my bucket slightly. But again, the forks was everything I expected.

No. Our only concern about the handles is that they are quite short. Other than that, they are fine.

yes, there is bolt on each end which clamps it to the fork. The bar may be removed, but the forks have a tendency to not remain pointing straight out when moving a load that is shifting.

Yes the tailstock is hollow so you can use the knock-out bar if needed. Some of my live centers are not long enough to be popped out by the hand wheel.

Just checked mine. It does indeed have a hollow handle. I cleaned it with alcohol swished back and forth through the handle that has two tiny openings.

I agree with two other answers, but I can only speak to the one I own. My handle has a dimple on the inside at the top attachment of the handle and has a hollow space slightly at the bottom attachment of the handle. so my answer would be that the handle is solid for the most part and has about maybe 10% of the handle area at the bottom attachment being hollow.

Yes they are fixed to frame except for a section in middle for putting forks on frame

They are smaller then the regular forks. There are not the same size. This flatware set is outstanding. We have owned for 6 months or longer and it continues to look good through several trips through the dishwasher. This is the best set we have ever owned. Worth the extra money.

they are not filled in all the way in the back they curve solid on both sides of the back then just a thin line of being hollow but they are very stable for the price...i would buy these again....

Yes they are. The short handles also make it easy to store them. I thought our cheap ones were just fine until we bought these. There is no comparison.
