Handle Woods
Ebony
Ebony is a dense black/brown hardwood, most likely from the Gabon ebony which is native to western Africa.
Pear Wood
A common premium wood in Europe, pear wood is smooth and hard but significantly less dense than Ebony. The wood is often used in places where low friction is prefered and is sometimes dyed black and used as a cheaper alternative to Ebony. It is a pleasant warm brown that can sometimes take on a pinkish hue.
Rosewood
Highly prized for its red color, the Madagascar rosewood, known as Bois de Rose, is what is used in these handles.
Olive Wood
Olive wood is very hard and is prized for its durability, color, high combustion temperature, and interesting grain patterns. The yellow or light greenish-brown wood is often finely veined with a darker tint being very hard and close-grained.
