Made of molybdenum/vanadium stainless steel, which is why the knife stays sharp for a very long time. The knife's tang runs through the length of the handle, making it very wear-resistant and balanced. http://www.ikea.com/ca/en/images/products/vardagen-vegetable-knife-gray__0396835_PE566197_S4.JPG VARDAGEN Vegetable knife, dark gray http://www.ikea.com/ca/en/catalog/products/60294716/ 602.947.16 IKEA $14.99
