Handle Wood in Sucupira - Walnut

Durable Wood for Knife Making

Sucupira is a hard and durable wood species with a beautiful dark color and distinct grain pattern. This makes the wood a great choice if you want to create a strong and long-lasting knife handle with a more raw and characterful appearance.

This block of sucupira wood can be used as handle wood for your next knife project. The wood’s high hardness provides a handle that can withstand many years of use—whether the knife is intended for the kitchen, the workshop, or outdoor use.

When you make your own knife handle, you have full control over both shape and finish. You can customize the grip to your hand and create a knife that not only works well but is also completely personal.

Sucupira can be shaped with common tools such as a carving knife, file, and sandpaper, and subsequent treatment with oil or wax will enhance the wood’s deep colors and give a beautiful finish.

If you want to learn more about the process, you can read our guide “Make Your Own Knife,” where we explain how you can quite simply make your own knife.

The wood block can be combined with many of our knife blades, so you can easily get started building your own knife.
