Knives with steel handle

Steel

— one of the most popular materials for multitools, where the handles are subjected to significant stress; however, it is also found in knives. The key advantages of steel are high strength and reliability. It has a rather large weight, but massiveness often also turns out to be an advantage — in particular, it creates an additional impression of strength and reliability. Among the unambiguous shortcomings of steel, one can note the tendency to “cool” fingers and slip out of wet hands; however, the first moment is noticeable only in cold weather without gloves, and the second is often compensated by a relief notch. It is also worth considering that different grades of steel may have different resistance to corrosion, some varieties may require additional care.
