On the 89-piece Gorham Ribbon Edge flatware set, are the knife handles hollow or solid?

I bought these and love them. I think the handles are solid--they definitely have a good weight to them.

They are weighted. Are they solid? That's a good question. They are not cheaply made, I'm happy with the set. I've seen more expensive that I didn't like as much.

They are solid. They are one-piece handles, flatter and much heavier than the two-piece hollow handles. (Unfortunately, because of their extra weight, I find them easier to drop. I prefer the hollow handles on my original set, vintage 1986. Oh well...)

Yes, the flat blades are all hollow ground. I just used one of the phillips bits on some brass screws into a furniture hard wood without rounding out the center. This is a quality set.

18/10. I am very pleased with the weight, balance and finish of this flatware. The one thing I had to get used to, is the deep "bowl" of the teaspoons. It is unlike what I had before but it is not a bad thing. Great purchase!

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

It's an 18/10 Set. Except the Knives which are 18/10 handles with 13/0 blades for extra strength. See the picture from the box I posted on the item: http://www.amazon.com/Reed-Barton-Perspective-Piece-Flatware/dp/B009CE1I60/

I'm not sure. I just opened it and gave it to my kids. they are not bulky, so i'd assume they are hollow

The handle on mine isn't hollow, almost looks like it is but it's not. If ever they were hollow they're not now.

The pieces are not solid. In fact, they feel hollow, like a hollow core door. This makes them lighter weight than say particle board. Not sure if the surface is real wood. Still quite attractive and reasonably sturdy.

The steak knives have a straight edge. They seem to hold an edge nicely and sharpen easily with the included steel.

Not sure exactly, but it's not light - all the flatware is solid and heavy, except the butter knives which are hollow but still balanced. I'd say a couple pounds at least.

the blade is a solid 3/16ths" thick throughout on flat sides....there is no tang, the blade is a solid piece with the solid steel handle machined out for the storage hollow....it duplicates an earlier Reeve integral down to bit kit inside handle, and the serrated copy his style as well...i do not recommend the serrations

No--they are solid. This is not a lightweight cheapie set of cutlery. They are well made and nicely designed. Use mine daily. Oneida means quality!

does anybody hollowgrind anything anymore? when i was younger, hollowground was THE fashion......it is basically a flat grind with secondary cutting bevel, a very simple knife not deserving to get caught in all the grind hyperbole so fashionable just now, most grinds luck of draw on belt tension anyhow as far as matching any definition

It's hollowed. I was going to write that it was solid, but decided to double check. The edges are foled back so that there is a very narrow slit in the back. If it helps, the handle is very sturdy and until I double checked, I thought the it was solid. My fingers never feel pinched when opening the cabinet.

It is hollow but built very solidly. I have pulled my boat with it several times with no issue. I strongly recommend this product if an extension arm is needed.

The backs of the pieces are rounded and give the flatware a nice weight. I really love the way they feel in the hand, balanced and not too heavy, but feel substantial. Very good quality, and I expect to use them for a very long time.

I bought these as a gift. I am unable to tell you if they are solid or hollow, however the recipient was thrilled with the gift. Very classy.
