Coconut Palm Knife Scales | Matched Pair | 150 × 50 × 10mm

A striking and characterful knife scale blank crafted from Red Coconut Palm (Cocos nucifera), prized by knife makers for its warm reddish-brown tones and uniquely fibrous structure. The naturally speckled, high-density grain gives each pair a look unlike any conventional hardwood — bold, tactile, and completely individual.

Wood Characteristics

• Colour: Warm reddish-brown with a distinctive speckled fibrous pattern; colour and density vary across the palm cross-section
• Grain: Highly distinctive fibrous structure — no conventional grain lines; density increases towards the outer edge of the palm
• Hardness: Hard and dense — excellent durability and natural resistance to moisture
• Finish: Takes oil and resin finishes well; the fibrous texture adds natural grip and warmth to the finished handle
• Workability: Can be abrasive on tooling due to silica content — sharp tools and carbide recommended. Sands to a smooth, tactile finish.

Supplied

• Dimensions (each scale): Approx 150 × 50 × 10mm
• Supplied as a matched pair — both scales cut from the same piece
