Handle Material on Lightning II G/B

[cuchillo]

I just purchased a Lightning II HTA model with the green/black marble finish. I was wondering what the handle material is. The only info on your website mentions anodized aluminum, but this appears to be plastic of some sort.

Thanks

If it is not easily recognizable as aluminum it might be a carbonfiber handle. Is it really not made of metal.?

CJ,

Thanks for responding. I do have one of the 175's with the trout on the side that definitely is Aluminum. Other than trying to scratch the green and black one, I'd say 99% that it feels and sounds and looks like some sort of plastic or carbonfiber. It feels "greasy" and I can see faint cutting lines on the material.
