Knife Makers Terminology

Terminology

Unless you are a knife maker or a knife collector / enthusiast the terminology can be quite confusing.

So I have put together some pages to make things a bit easier for you to order your dream knife. 

I haven’t included all the colour options available and obviously wood grains / patterns will vary as they are a natural product. I also can’t control what the manufactures send me – so there may be slight variations on colour. 

So if you say to me for example you would like some Purple stabilised wood. Then I will see what is available at the time of your order and let you make the decision.
