Grained Amboina
This knotty, reddish to yellow wood, grown in Burma (Myanmar), is used mostly by custom knife-makers. For many years we have made grips especially for Korth and S&W revolvers out of this very noble material.
Rosewood
This fine-grained, dense wood is exceptionally hard and has a silky feeling to it. The tones vary from reddish brown to magenta, with dark stripes for a play of light and shadow. This fine wood is used mostly for making revolver grips.
Arborvitae (thuya)
A very well known tree. Knots often develop in its roots, each with a unique and beautiful grain structure with bird's eyes. The wood is rich in natural oils and its colours range from warm tones to fiery tints.
Ivory
As in the past, there are many friends of this unusually pure but in appearance humble material. We are happy to say that after lengthy correspondence with all relevant authorities we have permission to sell, with CITES authorisation, from our stock of ivory and can offer to produce ivory grips on request.
(Export to non-EU countries only with import/export authorisation. Export to the USA is not possible.)
Luxury style with finger grooves in fancy grained walnut
For individuals who appreciate fancy, exotic woods, these grips are not only beautiful but they are ergonomically perfect. The sometimes more than three-hundred-year-old wood is dressed in an extensive procedure to an ultra-smooth surface and finished with a high quality oil.
