Central and West African Wenge in Plates (x2)

Latin name: Millettia laurentii.

Other name: Awong.

Origin: Africa (Cameroon, Congo, Mozambique).

Colour: dark brown.

Comments: Wenge is an exotic wood from Central and West Africa that has become a popular cutlery material because of its unique properties. The wenge blocks we offer are particularly appreciated for their natural beauty and durability.

Wenge is a superior material for cutlery because it is dense, durable and moisture resistant. Its dark colour, almost black, and unique grain make it a popular aesthetic choice for knife sleeves.

Due to its hardness, wenge is easy to work and allows to obtain a smooth and shiny finish. Professional cutlery and amateur DIYers can therefore easily work with this material to create unique knife sleeves.

Wenge is also a popular material for the manufacture of other art objects, such as furniture, musical instruments and sculptures.

Natural wood: Wood is a material widely used in the manufacture of knives, DIY and handicrafts. We offer over 30 wood species selected for their aesthetic and/or mechanical qualities. Sold as pads, sleeves or blocks. The sleeves are always made of two paired pieces.

Our catalogue: We offer a wide range of natural wood, stabilized wood, bones, horns, cervids, minerals, composite materials (carbons, fiberglass, etc.) and mounting accessories (visserie).
