What kinds of steels do you use on the blades?

I usually use stainless steels. My favorite is M390 and Elmax but sometimes I use other types like N690, D2, AEB-L or some carbon steels.

What kinds of materials do you use on the handles?

I usually use G10, micarta, carbon fiber, vulcanized fiber, stabilized woods, exotic woods and also many metals like bronze, inox or brass and cooper.

Actually I can use many various materials but I don’t like cheap woods and steels with poor water resistance.

58-60 HRC for N690, 60-62 for Elmax and M390.
