what is the black part of the knife made from?

It looks & feels like some sort of synthetic material. It's not wood. Also, the white engravings on the handle are not as clear & nice as in the pic advertising the product. The feeling is that if you handle this knife repeatedly eventually the white color will wear off and you will have to use paint to restore it (how successful can you be is something to be seen.)

Chinese Stainless Steel, which goes through the handle. Needed to be sharpened out of the box, the handle slips out of your hands easily, and is a bit uncomfortable...looks menacing, in and out of the sheath.

Its a stainless steel blade.... I think its very good quality. I actually sent the knife info to a friend before I ordered it with the same question. He assured me it can be sharpened easily. (he manages a weapons shop). It is very easy to use & will last a very long time. I have actually ordered several more since the first one.

Mine is all black. It's carbon steel so it's functional. Sharp enough to cut but no where near katana sharp. I'm okay with it. Decent for such a cheap price. Beware the guard may bend during shipping somehow. I could straighten mine but it's more effort than it's worth for a slight bend.

Black, this will be the best knife for the money, hands down, I am really impressed with Becker ,, you wont find this quality for this price anywhere.

The knife is made from one piece of steel. The knife is 4mm thick or just a tiny bit over 1/8th of an inch. It tapers to a point at the front end. Very well made.

Plastic, and in my opinion its dangerous to use because the action on this knife is very tight and the force needed to get it to open it enough that I've almost sliced my thumb the times I've used the thumb knob to open it.

Yes it is James. It is one piece of 1055 metal. Pretty strong. Check out (blackforestghost) video review and testing of the knife. He hammered it into a tree stomp and stood on it. Blackforestghost was a 240 pound German guy and the knife did not break. He even hammered it through a car door. This knife is highly recommended and affordable.

Sorry, Its not marked on the knife. I would just Google it. Excellent quality thou.

The black part is a vinyl/faux leather. The wood part seems to be layers of pressed plywood (not a veneer or laminate).

black handles with stainless blades-I am somewhat dissappointed as to the sharpness of the blade-they look better then they perform-

The knife includes a nylon sheath with a plastic liner to prevent the knife from cutting the nylon. It has a snap closure around the handle and includes grommets and a small amount of para cord to tie the bottom to your leg. All in all the sheath is not the greatest quality bit I wouldn't let that deter me from buying the knife. It's a real workhorse and it's huge.

Correct, it is all black. Matches the handle material well and does have a "factory" look to it

On mine it's more grey and darker grey. I wouldn't call it black but it is very dark. Also, it's a coating on the blade so I would expect varying shades knife to knife.

There is no indication on the knife or case where it was made. Sorry I couldn't help.

Black. While not a fan of the black I would rather have had just the steel it is a great knife & I highly recommend it.

It feels like steel to me and it's black...I love mine...I always line it with tin foil though just for easy cleanup... Sara...
