This “ebony†is a super tough wood that sands and polishes to a nice soft glowing shine on a buffing wheel, almost like metal when properly prepped.I refurbished a small but very heavy Japanese Deba knife that had a traditional Wa handle. I’ve got really big hands and traditional Japanese Wa handles feel like a toothbrush to me - I just don’t like them.This Blackwood/Ebony became an accent handle “bolster†with American walnut used for the rest of the handle.I removed the original handle from the vintage Deba knife and crafted a new handle in more of a Western style that better fits my gorilla hand.I’m not totally sure if it’s truly Blackwood which is actually in the Rosewood family or Macassar ebony.Either way, this wood is tough as a soft metal. It’s hard on hand tools, it even tough to sand and file and it takes shine from polishing like metal.I attached 3 photos. One of which shows the handle in rough, rectangular form and the other two showing this ebony on the nearly finished handle.I slimmed the handle down a bit after this photo and made it for my right hand with some sanding tricks.After shaping, I progressively sanded the handle to 1000 grit with a final polishing on a buffing wheel.The results were exactly what I wanted. A super tough and subtly slick look handle accent that can take beating working on shellfish and other tough kitchen work - that’s what a Deba is for.Bottom line is that this wood is beautiful, tough, hard, inexpensive, a beast to work and shape but will give beautiful results. Hope that helps!

Solid scales. I used them on my first knife. They sand to a beautiful finish at 400 grit

The wood is "Golden Ebony". It is not totally black like I understood the ad to be. It is beautiful wood and I will try to make it work, but I wanted "black" ebony...no color in the grain.

I purchased this to use in replacing the handles on our kitchen knife. The material was easy to work with and the new handles turned out ok, even though this was my first time making knife handles. I’m very satisfied with the material.

Great pieces for small projects. I used mine for scales on a damascus mini camp cleaver. Machines nicely and polishes to a glossy finish. Make sure you work through the grits to get a fine finish, then hit it with a buffer and it polishes up beautifully. If you are using a belt sander that isn't variable speed be careful and use a light touch. The wood is oily and smokes a ton when grinding at higher speeds. It will scorch easily if not careful.

They both have a nice pattern to them but only one problem, they are nowhere near book matched. The grain run lengthwise on one and at a 45 on the other and one is much darker than the other. Now I know why the price was so low. I'll use them for something.

These worked great to create a new handle for my sgian dubh. Beautiful dark wood that polished up nicely.
