What is the handle made of?

It is written in the description. The handle is stainless steel and the blade is plastic. I could be wrong but I suspect they have this backwards? :) In any case the description could be better with a bit more detail of what steel instead of this generic stainless description as well as what kind of plastic polymer is used for the handle.

Is this from their Professional-S series?

No - The S Series are made in Germany, do not have the rivets in the handle, and cost almost 2x of the Classic Series. As others have pointed out, you still get a great knife for the price. My S knives still need to be honed and sharpened regularly.

Does this knife have a full tang blade that extends through the handle? Not possible to tell from the pictures. Only visible from top of knife.

This knife does have a full tang blade that extends through the entire handle. An excellent knife.

when it says 8 inches, is that the length of the blade itself, or is that the blade plus the handle?

8 inches is the length of just the blade, handle not included in measurement

Excellent quality!

Great knife for the price and delivered in great condition as well! The knife is well balanced and retains an edge well. A fully forged, full tang knife for this price is great value for money.

good knife

This forged knife made with German steel is better than any stamped knife available in India. I recommend it to any one who wants to purchase it for household purpose .costlier knifes in Henckels will have better steel quality,sharper retaining edges and better handles.Forged knifes lasts longer if maintained properly
