The handles of this knife series are made of a fibre-synthetic resin composite, called Mikarta . Grinding the handles results in an individual structure and pattern, so that no two knives are alike. Like all the knives in the Alpha series, the blade of the Alpha Mikarta series is made of chrome-vanadium-molybdenum knife steel and forged by hand from a single piece of steel.

More than 40 further manual operations are necessary to produce a unique piece of Solingen knifemaking art. Because of the Mikarta handles, these knives should not be put in the dishwasher. The blade is stainless, ice-hardened and of course hand-sharpened.
