Padauk Knife Blanks / Knife Scales – 5" x 1-1/2" x 1" – Exotic Hardwood Handle Material for Knives, Tools, and Grips
Craft vibrant and durable custom handles with these Padauk Knife Blanks / Knife Scales, sized 5" x 1-1/2" x 1", ideal for knife making, tool handles, and creative woodworking projects. Padauk, scientifically known as Pterocarpus soyauxii, is a popular African exotic hardwood known for its brilliant reddish-orange color, straight grain, and excellent durability.
Padauk is highly valued by woodworkers and knife makers for its strength, stability, and ease of machining, making it easy to cut, shape, sand, and finish. When freshly cut, Padauk displays a bright orange-red tone, which gradually deepens into a rich reddish-brown color over time, giving finished handles a beautiful natural appearance.
These blanks feature smooth texture and attractive grain, allowing craftsmen to create comfortable, durable, and visually striking knife handles. Padauk also polishes well and accepts oils and finishes beautifully, enhancing its natural color and grain.
These knife blanks are ideal for custom knives, hunting knives, bushcraft knives, chef knives, pocket knives, tool handles, and other woodworking projects where both durability and vibrant color are desired.
