Produced from select kiln dried hardwood. They are sanded, buffed and double lacquered. The handles are fitted with a patented Williams Furrule, and injection molded space age plastic that surrounds metal female threads that have been specially coated to provide up to 1000 hours of tested salt spray conditions in order to provide long term use without any rust. The fiberglass handle is protected with a polyester veil that prevents fibers from working to the surface. A vinyl hand grip compliments the opposite end.
