The coating is the same chemistry used on surgical instruments: it converts the blade surface itself rather than sitting on top of it, so it adds corrosion resistance without a coating that can chip or peel. It also gives the blade its smoked matte look.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe handle is chestnut, fire-treated to harden the timber and improve its water resistance, shaped into a traditional D profile with a polypropylene resin ferrule at the join.
