Juniper handle

Juniper wood is cherished for its rich, warm hues and delicate fragrance, qualities that make it a prime selection for distinguished knife handles. The wood's allure doesn't end with its aromatic scent; it's also known for its robustness and natural resistance to decay, characteristics rooted in the juniper trees' resilience in their wild, rocky habitats.

These trees, with their sturdy and steadfast growth, endure in harsh environments, leading to wood that's exceptionally durable and dense, more so than many other woods found in Europe.

The distinctive growth rings and textures, varying widely between specimens, ensure each juniper wood handle is an authentic testament to nature's intricate design.
