The handle is made out of black Canvas-Micarta, which is a durable material made of resin and linen and formed under high temperature and pressure. The end of the handle is made out of stainless steel, which gives the knife outstanding stability. Two stainless steel rivets fasten the handle tightly. The handle is very comfortable to hold.
