This finish called titanium not only looks great but it also protects the blade. The heavy duty construction with the steel frame makes this knife a durable commodity to have. The entire handle is made from stainless steel inside and out. At the end of the bite handle is a safety latch to hold it opened or closed. This piece is completely riveted and double pinned. The drop point damascus blade comes sharp with a fuller at the top. The blade closes completely inside the handle. This knife looks great and is built to last.
