Natural Maple, Purpleheart, Zebrawood Knife Scales Kit
This is a very mixed lot. Everything is tagged if it's raw or stabilized. You'll receive every item in the photos. Some are a little thin, some have cracks. A lot of it's good but don't expect perfection.

Product Type: Knife Scales

Wood Type: Maple, Purpleheart, Zebrawood

Dimensions: 5x2x0.25

Finish: Drum sanded to 220 grit

Hard Maple — creamy white with subtle grain that lets the figure do the talking. Stabilized to improve moisture resistance and bring out the depth of any figure. Curly and bird's eye variants produce a chatoyant shimmer that shifts with the light.

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 with no stabilization needed. One of the most distinctive colors available in natural hardwood.

Zebrawood — unmistakable cream-and-dark-brown stripes from West Africa that make these immediately recognizable. Interlocked grain is stabilized to fill the pores and prevent seasonal movement in scale applications. The contrast between light and dark reads boldly on a finished handle.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the dimensions of Lot of Natural Maple 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.
