From the Silver Stag website regarding the steel: D2 steel is an air hardened, high carbon, and high chromium tool steel that is extremely wear resistant and durable. D2 steel is commonly used in the machining industries to manufacturer dies and punches that repeatedly cut other materials. The blades are heat treated to a 62 Rockwell hardness and are guaranteed to retain their factory edge for extended periods of heavy use. When it does come time to re-sharpen, the blades will hone to a razor edge. In our opinion, there is nothing better than D2 steel for a hard working field knife. ...We recommend that you keep the blades oiled. The blades will spot, discolor, and rust if put away wet or are exposed to damp conditions for extended periods of time.
All antler handles will vary in coloration and surface character, which is part of the uniqueness of natural handle materials.
