DRY Iroko (African Teak) Wood Block for Chef Knife Handles - 25x30x140 (CHFIROKO)

DRY Iroko (African Teak) Wood Block for Chef Knife Handles - 25x30x140

A block sized specifically for Japanese style chef knife handles. At 25 x 30 mm (1.0 x 1.2 in) in section it is close to the finished dimensions of a wa handle, so there is very little wood to remove. You are shaping, not hogging material away.

Golden to medium brown with a simple, honest grain. Compared to teak for the same reason it behaves like teak. Natural oils, real moisture resistance, and a slow darkening to amber over the first year.

The obvious pick for a chef knife handle that lives next to a sink.

Also works for puukko handles and pen blanks. The 140 mm (5.5 in) length covers a full size chef handle with room to trim, and the square-ish section drills cleanly for a hidden tang.

Each piece is selected, cut and sanded by hand so the grain is visible before you start. Air dried and stable, ready to work.
