Flame Purpleheart Knife Scale Blank – 5 x 1-1/2 x 3/8 Inch (Bookmatched) – Premium Handle Material for Knives, Tools, and Grips

Create striking custom knife handles with this Flame Purpleheart Knife Scale Blank (Bookmatched), sized 5 x 1-1/2 x 3/8 inch, perfect for knife making, tool handles, and custom grip projects. Flame Purpleheart, scientifically known as Peltogyne spp., is a highly prized exotic hardwood known for its vibrant purple color and dramatic flame-like grain patterns.

This set includes bookmatched knife scales, meaning the two pieces are cut from the same board and opened like a book to produce mirrored grain patterns. This creates a symmetrical and visually balanced handle design, making it highly desirable for professional knife makers and woodworking artisans.

Purpleheart is valued for its high density, durability, and excellent strength, making it an ideal material for knife handles that require both beauty and performance. The wood develops its rich purple tone when exposed to light and finishing, and it can polish to a smooth, glossy surface that enhances the dramatic flame figure.

These scales are perfect for custom knives, hunting knives, chef knives, bushcraft knives, pocket knives, tool handles, and decorative grip projects where a bold and unique appearance is desired.
