A little about the blade:
The blade core is made from ultra-hard Micro Carbide Powder stainless steel SG2 which is enveloped by 80 layers on each side with soft and hard stainless steel. This powdered steel contains a lot of carbon and has an unprecedented hardness of approximately 63 Rockwell. Powdered steel is used because it ensures a high degree of purity and exceptionally sharp cutting edge.

A little about the handle:
The handle is made out of red-black Canvas-Micarta, which is an odourless and enormously durable material made of resin and linen and formed under high temperature & pressure. The end of the handle is made out of stainless steel, which gives the knife outstanding stability. Three stainless steel rivets fasten the handle tightly. The handle is very comfortable to hold and allows tireless working in all cutting techniques. The trademark ‘GOU’ is engraved on the grip end.
