Hi Leif,

I think it's better to speak an open word, thank you for understanding.
It will be some sort of natural resin or a mix of natural stuff with a great portion of resin. When you heat the blade carefully you would be able to turn the handle in the correct direction.

One note when it is allowed. I don't have the money for high end pieces and I am happy with good representatives of a blade but I look always for complete or restorable pieces.

Regards,
Detlef
