Japanese magnolia wooden handle with water Buffalo Horn bolster.  Western Style knives have Hyper Molybdenum Vanadium stainless steel blade entilely. Full tang black color resin handle called "Duracon". Really sharp knives with rust resistance.    Notice about the blade steel material for Masamoto VG Western Style Knives  We have just been advised by Masamoto that they will change the blade marking and catalog description of their Cobalt steel series Western style knives from "Cobalt Molybdenaum-Vanadium" to "Hyper Molybdenum-Vanadium". The reason for this, they say they found the blade steel used for this series did not contain the Cobalt. Masamoto does not show the actual steel type.  They will also change the handle material from Pakkawood to a resin handle called "Duracon", which they explain, is a dishwasher safe, durable and anti-bacteria.    Anyways, we are very sorry for any confusions and inconveniences caused by this sudden notice from Masamoto. We will update you as soon as we receive any further information in this matter.                                  Edge Shape                    Information For Left Hander                                          Double Bevel Edge 70/30                                               Ask for the Price       Left Handed Version are available for all  models
