SHOP CASE KNIVESThe JANTZ Supplies Black Palm Scales Model EW191 offer a striking and durable option for serious knife makers who appreciate natural materials with bold character. Known for its unique grain and dramatic color contrast, black palm delivers both visual appeal and solid performance in custom knife builds. These scales are anything but plain—they’re a statement piece for craftsmen who want their work to stand out while holding up to real use.
Each pair of scales features deep black streaks interwoven with rich brown and soft gray tones, giving your handle a rugged yet refined appearance. This natural contrast in grain brings out the personality of the wood, making every set of scales one-of-a-kind. Whether you're crafting a bushcraft knife, a compact EDC, or a showpiece blade, these scales lend a finish that grabs attention without sacrificing function.
Measuring 3/8" thick by 1-1/2" wide and 5" long, the Black Palm Scales are sized right for a variety of handle designs. They're easy to work with using standard shop tools and respond well to sanding, shaping, and finishing. Because black palm is a fibrous and dense wood, it offers a good balance of strength and polishability—ideal for creating a handle that feels solid in the hand while looking clean and well-finished.
Proudly made in the USA, these scales meet the needs of knife makers who demand quality in their materials. If you're the type to build with intention, from the tang to the edge to the final touch on the handle, these scales will help elevate your next project from functional to exceptional.
