SHOP CASE KNIVESThe JANTZ Supplies Ebony Scales Model EW110 delivers the rich, natural beauty of genuine ebony wood in a size and shape ideal for custom knife making. With a deep black base laced with elegant swirls of brown and subtle gray, each set of scales offers a one-of-a-kind pattern that adds character and class to any blade. These are more than just handle materials—they're a finishing touch that elevates your knife from functional to exceptional.
Measuring 3/8" thick, 1-1/2" wide, and 5" long, this pair of scales provides ample material for shaping and contouring to your exact design. Whether you're building a full-tang fixed blade, a folder, or a high-end display piece, these scales are up to the task. The density and fine grain structure of ebony make it an ideal hardwood for knife handles, offering a smooth feel in hand and exceptional wear resistance over time.
Working with ebony requires a sharp edge and a careful hand, but the payoff is well worth it. Once shaped and polished, the scales take on a rich luster that doesn’t just look great—it feels refined and responsive. It finishes smooth and tight, without the fuzziness or brittleness some hardwoods can show under power tools. That’s why experienced makers reach for it when the job calls for more than just function—it calls for finesse.
These scales don’t just look great on the bench. They perform out in the field too. Ebony’s hardness and natural moisture resistance give it lasting durability, making it suitable for everything from collector pieces to hard-use knives that still need to look sharp at the end of a long day. Pair them with brass pins, stainless steel hardware, or mosaic accents for a standout build that gets noticed and lasts for years. Order it today from SMKW!
