Jantz Zebra Wood Scale Set JZEW188

The Jantz Zebra Wood Scale Set brings a bold, natural look to your next custom knife project. Known for its striking appearance and rugged durability, zebra wood—Microberlinia brazzavillensis—offers both beauty and strength in one dense hardwood package. Sourced from tropical West Africa, this wood is prized for its golden yellow base tone streaked with dark brown to black striping, giving your handle a wild, untamed character that stands out in any lineup.

Each scale in this set measures 3/8" thick, 1-1/2" wide, and 5" long—plenty of material to shape and fit a wide range of full-tang blades. The set includes two matching pieces, carefully cut to provide balanced symmetry across both sides of the handle. With proper shaping and finishing, zebra wood polishes up beautifully, giving a smooth, tactile feel while retaining its visually textured pattern.

This wood isn’t just for show—it’s dense and durable, built to hold up under regular use. Whether you're crafting a high-end custom knife or a dependable daily user, these scales give you a premium handle option with natural toughness and timeless appeal.

For knife makers who appreciate working with real wood that adds both personality and performance, the Jantz Zebra Wood Scale Set is a smart choice. Ready to be shaped, sanded, and finished to your spec, this set gives you everything you need to craft a handle that’s both functional and fierce. Order it today from SMKW!
