This knife has a sustainably produced FSC-certified handle made of red beech, which has the property of providing a good grip or better grip, even when wet. When beech becomes wet, the fibers stand upright, creating a rougher surface when it is dry, unlike plastic variants. The blade is made of high-quality stainless steel and, with proper maintenance, will last more than a lifetime. The metal is 100% recyclable, and the handle is biodegradable.
