The stainless blade (RWL34) is hardenet at 1050 degree C and tempered at 200°C. RWL 34 is a Rapid Solified Powder (RSP) Martensitic Stainless Steel, which is a variation of the 420 martensitic steel family with 13 percent chromium with the addition of Molybdenum and Vanadium for improved corrosion resistancee, hardness and strength. |
The handle is made of a commonly sustainable wood, Swedish Whitebeam (sorbus intermedia). The wood is preserved with a modern polymer. It gives a knife handle with both a deep glow and a significant resistance to moisture and abrasion. This material will provide many years of daily use. |
