154CM Steel
154CM it is one of “better” steel varieties made for cutlery and other knife blades. It’s not a powder steel (CPM154 would be the powder version), but it’s a commonly used steel for a higher grade knife. A popular use for 154CM is in survival knives that are often exposed to harsh elements like salt water for extended periods. It has an exceptionally good balance between three enviable attributes which are toughness, hardness, and corrosion resistance.154CM is a very high carbon stainless steel with the addition of Molybdenum. It most certainly gives you a better edge retention than normal cutlery or stainless steels.
Micarta Handle
Micarta is a flax or paper fabric laminated with epoxy resin. Its structure is very similar to G-10. Its advantages are lightweight and good durability. Its surface has a pattern of linen or cardboard, which has greater friction than the G-10 handle. Micarta has a certain degree of water absorption, and the color will change when wet.
