The base is made of hardwood. The handle is dark in color, treated for durability and aesthetics.
The impact part is reinforced from above with a metal nozzle (head), made of iron or other metal. It has several protrusions or faces, which enhances the impact effect.
A leather strap is attached to the bottom of the handle for fastening on the wrist or belt.
