Burl is formed when an area of a tree is damaged but not killed. The tree will compartmentalize this area and will not grow branches; instead enveloping the bud tissue as it grows. This process can take up to 50 years to grow the burl to its fullest size! What that means is that burl can only occur naturally, every piece is unique, and supply for it is scarce.
This handle features a black Ash burl as the main body, jasper truestone sandwiched between brass make up the spacer, and onyx truestone is used for the ferrule. For those who like a little darkness, this handle is for you!
Measuring only 112 mm, this handle is best suited for small cutlery such as petty and paring knives.
