The stonewashed black knurled aluminum handle provides a durable, lightweight foundation with excellent traction and control. The textured surface enhances grip during extended use, while the stonewashed finish helps conceal scratches and wear from daily carry. Complementing the handle are black PVD titanium accents on the hardware and pocket clip, creating a sleek, all-black aesthetic with a tactical edge. The monochromatic finish gives the knife a refined appearance while maintaining the rugged character expected from Chaves designs.
