Cut from strong, moderately heavy padauk, these knife blanks provide excellent stability and a brilliant red color that has earned padauk the informal name ”vermillion.” Padauk’s reddish orange coloring darkens over time to a purplish brown, but the darkening can be slowed with the use of UV-inhibiting finishes. Good natural luster makes these blanks an excellent choice for almost any knife handle.
