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

Create distinctive custom handles with this Spalted Tamarind Knife Scale Blank (Bookmatched), sized 5 x 1-1/2 x 3/8 inch, ideal for knife making, tool handles, and custom grip projects. Spalted Tamarind, scientifically known as Tamarindus indica, is a dense and durable exotic hardwood known for its dramatic spalting patterns, rich color contrasts, and unique natural grain.

This set includes bookmatched knife scales, meaning both pieces are cut from the same board and opened like a book to create mirrored grain patterns on each side of the handle. This provides a balanced and professional appearance, highly valued by custom knife makers and craftsmen.

Spalting occurs naturally in wood and produces beautiful dark lines and artistic patterns, making every set unique. Tamarind wood is known for its high density, durability, and strength, ensuring your knife handles and tool grips are both visually striking and long-lasting.

These scales are perfect for custom knives, hunting knives, bushcraft knives, chef knives, pocket knives, tool handles, and other decorative woodworking projects that require premium handle material.
