Is the handle rubber or aluminum?

Rubber, good knife for the price, but not getting it extremely sharp as I want. FYI

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.

It is a metal handle with a plastic grip this item worked great for me as a homeowner. I busted up a side walk about 30' long and my son has used it several times without problems-- just make sure the oil level is kept up it seems to use oil. For the price it is well worth it and paid for itself

The handle is rubberized and offers great grip. Not sure if there is plastic under it though.

Half and half, the top emitter part and the end above the endcap is machined aluminum, very nice! The middle of the handle seems to be a hard plastic, and the endcap is a softer black plastic.

Pretty sure it's aluminium. My wife,who is Japanese, loves this item and uses it constantly.

The handle is wood, press fit into the aluminum base. the aluminum is dimpled into the wood. It would be possible to loosen and remove the wood handle and install a longer wood handle or even find some aluminum tubing that fit snuggly over the wood and extend it that way. It might be easier to find a tool with a longer handle but if you can't it would be possible to modify this one.

Aluminum. Has held up well so far.Do not unplug by pulling the rubber end. I accidentally pulled the actual electronics from the metal casing.Super-glued it back together, then ran some HD Tune Read/Write test to heat it, to help set the glue. Seems to have worked so far.

The handle is 4" long. Overall 4 1/2". Love it ! I ordered it because it looked like it had a rubberized handle. It didn't but I still love it.The handle isn't "slick" like I thought it would be. Handles great !

It is a very nicely anodized aluminum. FYI well made, excellent tool, really gets the job done right. Fast, easy and neat.

It's aluminum and I bent mine. No worse than any other in this price range. I weigh 240 lbs. and ride on rough streets. Going to try something different like a Thompson.

The pressing handle is pretty sturdy. I have had one before this and the handle was never a problem. I am not sure if body is steel or aluminum.

The ones I just received have soft, rubbery handles. Not as good as the more rigid handle, yet serviceable.

Feels like aluminum. If you're worried about durability, I've used this thing heavily over the years I've owned it, with no problems.

I don't know the material the handle has in it. Probably rubber. I like it and it grips well when wet. It comes razor sharp and is very light.

It is fairly light, so I would suspect it is aluminum or an aluminum alloy.

It is NOT aluminum. This thing is HEAVY-DUTY. It lifts my full dresser with no sweat. Glad I choose this one!

The handle appears to be the same material as found on the base. It is molded on and has a rubbery feel so it is non-slip. I have given two of these boxed graters as gifts, one to my son in San Francisco and the other to my daughter-in-law in Fresno and they love them.
