It is enough to have a look at the photos to be able to notice a great variety of the blade dimensions and shapes, a handle, as well as of their intended use. The folders, depending on the model, are made from the modern, RWL-34 or SVN-35 powder stainless steels. The fixed blades are a well-known and liked D2 steel.
