The high-carbon bypass-blade system offers almost a full inch of capacity. The upper blade is titanium nitride coated to preserve unusual sharpness (and it also gives the blades a golden color). The handle is corrosion and sap-resistant brushed aluminum, with an anodized finish. We've now added textured rubber grips on the handle, to prevent your hand from slipping. One handle is slightly longer than the other, giving it a flowing, elegant look, and providing more cutting torque. From the blade tip to the end of the handle is 9'' long.
