Zebrawood — unmistakable cream-and-dark-brown stripes from West Africa that make these immediately recognizable. Interlocked grain is stabilized to fill the pores and prevent seasonal movement in scale applications. The contrast between light and dark reads boldly on a finished handle.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the dimensions of Premium Stabilized Zebrawood Knife Scales (4.5x1.75x0.375)?
These scales measure 4.5x1.75x0.375. Standard scale pairs fit the vast majority of full-tang knife blanks.
How are knife scales attached to a blade?
Drill matching pin holes through the tang and scales, apply two-part epoxy, and pin with stainless or brass rod. Clamp until fully cured (24 hours for most epoxies), then shape, sand, and finish.
What finish works best on exotic wood knife scales?
CA glue (cyanoacrylate) builds a hard, glass-smooth surface that enhances figure. Tru-Oil gives a softer, hand-rubbed result with good depth. Stabilized scales are less porous than raw wood — thinner coats work better than flooding the surface.
