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.
Burl is all about the figure — tight clusters of eyes, sweeping grain swirls, and natural inclusions that make every piece one of a kind.

Sized to fit most full-tang knife blanks — glue, pin, and shape.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the dimensions of Black Walnut Burl Handle Material (6x2x0.25)?
These scales measure 6x2x0.25. 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.
