Hard Maple — creamy white with subtle grain that lets the figure do the talking. Curly and bird's eye variants produce a chatoyant shimmer that shifts with the light.
Black Walnut — rich chocolate-brown American hardwood with straight open grain that feels solid without being heavy. One of the most practical premium materials: stable, takes finishes beautifully, and dark enough to hide everyday handling.
Purpleheart — vivid natural purple heartwood from Central and South America that deepens to a rich brown-purple over time with light exposure. Exceptionally hard and rot-resistant. One of the most distinctive colors available in natural hardwood.

Sized to fit most full-tang knife blanks — glue, pin, and shape.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the dimensions of AAA Multiple Wood Knife Handle Scales (5x2x0.25)?
These scales measure 5x2x0.25. Standard scale pairs fit the vast majority of full-tang knife blanks.
How are knife scales attached to a blade?
Drill matching pin holes through the tang and scales, apply two-part epoxy, and pin with stainless or brass rod. Clamp until fully cured (24 hours for most epoxies), then shape, sand, and finish.
What finish works best on exotic wood knife scales?
CA glue (cyanoacrylate) builds a hard, glass-smooth surface that enhances figure. Tru-Oil gives a softer, hand-rubbed result with good depth. Stabilized scales are less porous than raw wood — thinner coats work better than flooding the surface.
