It has a belt-ground and smoothly-polished carbon steel blade and an attractive cocobolo pinned Dymondwood slab handle with an exposed full tang. Dymondwood is a laminate that is stronger and more stable than whole cocobolo wood and is impervious to moisture, heat and cold. This knife was acquired in a lawsuit settlement against Marble's in early 2003, and despite the lack of " Gladstone , MI U.S.A.
