Rewarewa-Knife Scales-Knife Scale Premium Mirror-KNEXC-1622-66-1
Mirror matched set of knife scales, suitable for forming a knife handle either side of the tang. This wood chosen for its colour and figure. Serviceable as bare wood but better kept oiled to show the grain and figure. This particular piece of Rewarewa has been soaked in NZ beef fat, to enhance its medullary ray figure and colour. The beef fat also waterproofs the wood and increases its weight, helps offset a heavy blade.
