The handle design is made of a highly durable synthetic material known as Polyoxymethylene (POM), which features a tighter molecular structure to resist fading and discoloration. Often, a knife's edge will bend or roll slightly from normal use, after running it across this honing steel it will help to straighten the edge and the knife will be sharp again. By regularly honing your knives, you will maximize the time in between sharpening. The riveted handle ensures it stays on securely, and it’s made of resilient and corrosion-resistant polypropylene.
