FULL METAL
The Survivalist X Dural has a handle made of duralumin (a strong aluminum-copper alloy used in aircraft construction) that contains a survival capsule: a set of weatherproof matches, a needle and thread, a set of fishing line with three different hooks and two sinkers, copper wire, a safety pin, two different sized surgical blades, a sterile band-aid, and a sealed capsule.
The duralumin handle has a nice notch for a secure grip. The blade is very firmly attached to the handle - numerous tests where we and independent experts have tried to break the handle attachment have yielded no results, so you can rest assured.
