AUS 8A Stainless Steel
The designation of stainless steel is misleading because all kinds of steel in the event of adverse conditions and over time degrade or change color. The corrosion resistance of the steel is achieved by adding chromium and reducing the carbon content during the melting process. At the same time, it will degrade workability. Also, the stability of the knife edge is disturbed. "Material" AUS 8A "where high carbon and chromium addition allow for a compromise between strength, blade stability and corrosion resistance.

ZYTEL® is a registered trademark of DuPont for a wide range of polyamide based polymers (PA). Since the discovery of nylon by DuPont in the 1930s, this polymer has become the most widely used of many structural plastics. Thanks to its balanced features, it is used in the automotive, electrical and electronics industries, home appliances, furniture and construction industry. Zytel® materials are divided into several groups according to chemical composition - PA 66, PA 6, PA 66/6, PA 612, transparent amorphous polyamide, and semi-aromatic high temperature polyamide HTN. Zytel® materials can be modified for higher toughness, self-extinguishing, or hydrolysis resistance
