Jantz Curly Maple Scale Set JZEW114

The Jantz Curly Maple Scale Set brings a touch of timeless beauty and natural strength to any custom knife build. Known for its distinct grain pattern and warm tonal depth, curly maple has long been a favorite among knife makers looking to elevate both the appearance and performance of their blades. This matched pair of handle scales offers the durability needed for a reliable grip along with the visual impact that sets a handmade blade apart.

Each scale measures 3/8" thick, 1-1/2" wide, and 5" long—giving you ample material to work with for most full tang knife designs. The light blonde base tone, accented with subtle red hues and rich, curly figuring, makes for a handle that catches the light with depth and dimension. Whether you're shaping a traditional hunting knife, a refined kitchen blade, or a collector-grade custom piece, these scales provide a standout finish without compromising functionality.

Curly maple isn't just about looks—it machines and finishes well, offering excellent stability and strength once sealed. The grain offers enough character to hold up to hand sanding, contouring, or more detailed shaping without losing its signature pattern. These scales take well to oils, waxes, and clear finishes, allowing you to enhance the natural luster while protecting the wood from the elements.

Whether you're a seasoned maker or just getting started in custom knifework, the Jantz Curly Maple Scale Set is a solid choice for anyone wanting to pair craftsmanship with a clean, classic aesthetic. These scales come unshaped and ready for your creativity, providing a versatile and attractive foundation for a finished knife that’ll perform as well as it looks. Order it today from SMKW!
