The blade is made of 1K6 stainless steel, a robust molybdenum-vanadium alloy with 0.8% carbon, which achieves a hardness of 58 HRC on the Rockwell scale. This is a very good ratio between edge retention and ease of sharpening.

The knife's convex cutting edge makes it pleasant for both right- and left-handed users to use over time. The knife is pre-sharpened in 3 stages to guarantee optimum cutting quality.

The handle is a perfect continuation of the blade, and is made of 18/8 stainless steel. It is hammered, and its convex shape fits naturally into the palm.
