That is what creates the pattern on the blade: it is not an applied coating but the result of the construction itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHandle\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe handle is made of rosewood with an ebony ferrule.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow this knife is made\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDamascus knives are always made by hand, and that takes time.
