What is an integral knife?
An integral knife has its handle machined from one solid piece of material instead of separate scales screwed to liners. On the Chaves Knives x Sam Tran Arison Street Black Satin PVD, the handle and frame lock are a single piece of titanium, which makes the knife stiff, durable and clean-looking with fewer parts to loosen.

What is the Black Satin PVD finish on the Chaves Knives x Sam Tran Arison Street?
PVD (physical vapor deposition) bonds a thin, hard ceramic coating to the steel and titanium.

On the Chaves Knives x Sam Tran Arison Street Black Satin PVD, the finish is applied to the blade and titanium integral handle as a matched set.
