just wondering - what is "methacrylate steel" supposed to be? :D
niq   04.02.11
I was wondering the same thing, I couldn't find any hits on google or wikipedia. Maybe they mean the steel is glued to the handle with a methacrylate-based adhesive?
Jared   04.03.11
I think it means they painted them (or what ever process it is) black.

Methacrylate is a general group. Mono-, Poly-, Mono-Poly-, Co-Poly-, etc, etc, are differing types of methacrylates.

Plexi-glass is an example of one type. the coating on the knives is another.

Unless you're a chemistry major, it's pretty boring stuff, but there is plenty of information available.
