Each set includes two solid slabs, each measuring 4" long, 1.5" wide, and 0.5" thick, giving you plenty of material to shape, carve, and contour to fit your project. Whether you’re replacing worn handles or crafting a knife from the ground up, these cherry wood slabs deliver the strength, stability, and natural beauty needed for a durable, functional, and attractive finish.
Cherry wood is prized for its rich, warm tones and subtle grain patterns, which deepen over time, giving finished handles character and elegance. It’s an ideal wood for sanding, shaping, and polishing, allowing builders to create handles that feel comfortable in hand and visually enhance any knife. Each slab is unique, offering a one-of-a-kind aesthetic that will make your finished knife stand out in both functionality and style.
These slabs are perfect for craftsmen, collectors, or anyone looking to bring a personal touch to a knife project. Their size provides ample room for ergonomic shaping, decorative carving, or adding accent details, while the sturdy wood ensures handles that are as practical as they are beautiful.
