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

Create high-end custom knife handles with this Gaboon Ebony Knife Scale Blank (Bookmatched), precisely sized 5 x 1-1/2 x 3/8 inch. Gaboon Ebony, scientifically known as Diospyros crassiflora, is one of the most luxurious and sought-after exotic hardwoods in the world, prized for its deep jet-black color, fine texture, and exceptional density.

This set includes bookmatched knife scales, meaning the two pieces are cut from the same board and opened like a book to create perfectly mirrored grain patterns. This technique provides a balanced, professional appearance on both sides of the knife handle, making it highly desirable for custom knife makers.

Gaboon Ebony is renowned for its extreme hardness, durability, and smooth finishing qualities. It polishes to a beautiful natural luster, creating a sleek and elegant handle that stands out on high-end knives and custom tools.

These scales are ideal for hunting knives, chef knives, bushcraft knives, pocket knives, tool handles, and specialty grip projects where premium materials and refined aesthetics are essential.
