The Wood

Zebrawood earns its name with unmistakable bold stripes — pale straw-yellow ground marked by dark brown to near-black streaks. The grain is often interlocked, creating a subtle three-dimensional shimmer under light. It is a conversation piece in hand and on the counter. Medium in density with a slightly coarse but even texture, it carves and finishes cleanly.

The contrast between zebrawood’s natural patterning and the dark buffalo horn ferrule is visually arresting. Each piece is hand-selected to ensure the striping is vivid and well-distributed across the handle body.

Why this pairing works

Zebrawood's striping paired with a flat black ferrule gives the handle a graphic, almost illustrative feel. The horn anchors the busy grain pattern at the bolster so the eye settles on the blade.

Care

Wipe dry; re-oil every 6 months with food-safe mineral oil.
