Durability

Being made from Carbon steel certainly gives this blade or rather the whole knife some extra points. Carbon steel is tougher, harder, and more durable than regular stainless steel. It is more resistant to corrosive elements and will not break easily. Besides that, the best part is that this knife can easily work through even the hardest woods that some knives cannot work through. 

The handles are birch wood and they come slightly oiled to help prevent them from breaking and cracking. Already they are stronger than most wooden handles. Even though they might not be the easiest handles to work with it is no secret that they will definitely last longer than other handles.
