During grinding, the temperature on the edge is controlled to a precise degree which helps keep the hardness after the heat treating. Therefore, the sharpness and durability of the blade are assured.

The Handle: Two solid slabs of titanium are held together using Torx construction giving the appearance of an integral design. It's nearly seamless transition is performed flawlessly and are finished in durable Black PVD coating to match the blade. The hardware is anodized Bronze for a subtle pop of color.
