Curly Birch Extreme Grade Handle Scales – Set of 2 – 120 x 40 x 8mm

Curly Birch Extreme Grade Handle Scales – Set of 2

Curly Birch Extreme Grade handle scales feature exceptionally figured grain with dramatic curls, swirls and natural colour variations, making them a beautiful choice for premium custom knife handles.

Curly Birch is a pale hardwood traditionally used in Scandinavian knife making. Its distinctive twisted and rippled grain creates an attractive three-dimensional appearance, with the natural figure becoming more pronounced when sanded and finished.

Extreme Grade represents the highest level of figuring in our Curly Birch range. These scales are selected for their pronounced curls, strong grain contrast and distinctive natural character.

The timber can be cut, drilled, shaped and sanded using standard knife-making tools. Applying a suitable oil or protective finish enhances the grain and brings out its natural beauty.
