Both made of metal and solid plastic good quality though.. I bought two of this but one seems not to be as fluid as the other.. For the price is a good choice

The head and baseplate are metal. The handle is plastic. I've worked with a few fluid heads and I find this excellent value for price.

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

I think the handle is wood but don't quote me on it. Seems pretty substantial.

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.

Its carbon steel. Yes the head can be removed, there is a screw in side of head that should be removed immediately upon purchase and thrown away. A proper tomahawk have slight give or flex

the handle is made of composite metal. it will not break unless it is abused.

Everything is plastic, everything... except the base plate (the one it sits on and what would touch the paper) That being said it feels extremely solid, it is just lighter than the ones that have metal on them. I would buy it again.

It's metal with two types of handles, one set is metal other set is ceramic.

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.

It's a die cast metal and plastic handle like handle.... but not cheap... Its very nice though. Doesn't look cheap at least mine doesn't. Very charp.. but its a metal plastic mixed.

The base is metal. The depth stop is plastic and the part of the sliding head is plastic (but most of the sliding head is made out of metal) See the picture for the parts on its amazon page.

The handle itself is plastic, and the pole attached to the handle is metal. Tough little wagon. I use it in my flower garden.

I'm not sure of the exact material, but some type of composite or plastic. This is my 2nd one in 7 years of every day use. Very high quality

It's been a while since I bought it. I returned it because it was junk. The base was a cast material- probably aluminum, but possibly steel.

It is high carbon steel. Real thin, small handle, piece of junk. Look at CONDOR MACHETES if you want a good machete. You get a thick machete blade with a good handle.

My handle is wooden and the base is cast iron. Mine is older, and I noticed one answer given was a plastic handle so maybe they have changed from wood to plastic.

the handle is ABS plastic. very durable but a little narrow for my big hand.
