SKU: WH-AB-EC

African blackwood (Dalbergia melanoxylon) is among the densest woods used for handles — naturally oily, fine and even in grain, and it polishes to a near-mirror black with faint purple undertones. Here it is bookended: a white buffalo horn ferrule at the blade end and a matching horn end cap at the butt, each separated from the wood by a bright nickel silver spacer.

The capped butt is not only visual. It protects the end grain from the knocks a bare wood end picks up on a rail or in a drawer, and it patinas at the same rate as the ferrule, so the two ends stay matched over years of use. The extra material at the butt also shifts balance very slightly rearward, which suits longer blades.

  • Species: Dalbergia melanoxylon
  • Origin: Mopane savannas, southern Africa
  • Density: 1.08 g/cc
  • Build: white buffalo horn ferrule · nickel silver spacers · matching white horn end cap
  • Care: wipe dry; re-oil every 6 months
