The handle is gold plated with diamond cur design on both sides and an emblem in the middle for personalization. At one time on one side the handle had an inscription inside the emblem but the writing is no longer legible. There is also some fading on the diamond cut design. The blades are stainless steel with one approximately 1 inches long and the other 3/4 inches long. A bail is attached to the handle to give you the option to attached it to a chain or even to a key chain ring. A nice addition to your collection.
