Description
This is for a pair (2 scales) ofvery well made
River Flow style STABILIZED (impregnated) WOOD knife handles (Scales). T
hey glow under UV light.
They roughly measure 5 inches long by 2 inches wide and are usually at lest 3/8th inch thick (message me if different or exact size is needed, possible 1/8” variable in any direction due to sanding and shaping). I try to provide you with the most material possible to allow for mistakes, as well as allowing for those of us with big paws.
These scales are made from beautiful hand-selected Cedar grown, milled and cut in western Kentucky. I use g
lowing
dyed Resin (epoxy) for the blue river, and also heat activated Stabilizing Resin (the very popular and we’ll preforming Cactus Juice) in making these scales. These are gorgeous Knife handles and will set your knifes apart from the rest!
ALL OF THE THESE SCALES HAVE BEEN STABILIZED. If you are unfamiliar with wood stabilization; Stabilizing wood is very very important, especially for wood that is being used on a knife. Stabilizing helps prevent the wood from expanding and contracting in various temperatures and humid environments. Non-Stabilized knife handles will move and crack over time during changing Atmospheric conditions.
These scales have been submersed in a special type of resin, then placed in a vacuum chamber. The vacuum then pulls the air out of the wood over time. Since they are submerged in resin, the resin gets pulled into and fills the small pores and gaps inside of the wood. When the vacuum process is completed, the scales are left to soak for several hours. Then they are placed in a oven and heated to at least 2
20
°F for
a couple
hours or however long is needed, contingent of thickness. This causes the resin inside of the wood to harden, thus solidifying the once porous wood into a fixed hardened knife handle that’s extremely durable and will last for generations to come.
The photos in this auction may not be the exact blanks you received but will be very similar as I have made several pairs and have not photographed them all.
These are of course MADE IN USA.
Please share pictures of your knives when you are finished! It’s my favorite part of this process.
