The sleek aesthetic of the T1550 is achieved through a high-quality anodized finish. Anodizing is not a coating; it is an electrochemical process that integrates a thick, protective oxide layer directly into the surface of the aluminum. This results in a finish that is incredibly resistant to scratches, corrosion, and fading, ensuring the handle maintains its flawless appearance for a lifetime of use. This handle is a perfect fusion of form and function, with a beautiful finish that is as resilient as the material it protects.
