Looks like the handle is plastic is it or is it wood?

Depends on which seller you buy from. SwordsAxe has authentic wooden handle that is painted and refined. Some other sellers have cheap plastic handles.

Pretty sure it's plastic. Hard for me to tell, but it looks decent either way.

I believe that the handle is made of wood. The only joint is where the head and handle screw onto one another. Once tightened by.hand, the joint stays intact.

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.

Based on the Mason Pearson web site http://www.masonpearson.com/why.html I believe the handle is plastic. They say "The cellulose plastic handle is hand-polished and any sharp edges are removed to make the hairbrush more comfortable to hold. This handle was developed from the original wooden design which we continue to make in small quantities.". It may be plastic, but it doesn't feel cheap or plasticy. The handle is just the right weight and has a very nice feel.

It is plastic, but very thick and sturdy. I LOVE mine and highly recommend it!

The handle is not plastic, but the connection between the handle and the mop head are. this product is worth taking the chance on the plastic parts. I love it!

the handle is plastic and the hose is metal -- we had another model (Sprite Shower Falls) for many years and loved it -- it was also plastic with a metal hose --

The handle is metal. The tines (tynes??) are metal. The red thing at the bottom that fits on the handle and holds the tines is plastic.

Everything but the handle (plastic) is metal. The slide bar is steel and the miter fence is cast aluminum. Very good quality.

The one in this box is plastic. There is a wooden one but it says so in the item description and also you can see it in the box image.

I'm not sure as to the specific type of wood. What I can say however is that the shovel is surprisingly lightweight, if that is the concern. Visually, it looks no different from any other wooden shovel handle.

Looks very rich like wood, but isn't. Don't think it is plastic. In any case, it is beautiful and well done! I love itHope this helps youKaren

It's a very hard plastic, I think. It's not wood. The knives are very nice. I've bought two sets for us and 2 sets as a gift. We wash them by hand. I've also bought 4 Accusharp knife and tool sharpeners which work very well. This is the number one rated knife for 10 years by Cooks Illustrated. We love ours.

Seems like plastic to me. If not, it's wood coated by plastic. it's not cheap but it's good quality.

The one I got has a wooden handle. Fairly sturdy, still going well after three years of steady-to-heavy use in a professional setting.
