What is PINK IVORY WOOD ?

Pink Ivory is a rare hardwood native to Southern Africa, prized for its exceptionally fine grain and its naturally occurring pink color.
The soft, pale red tone—often mistaken for artificial dye—is entirely natural and cannot be replicated through staining or impregnation.

With its dense, uniform structure, Pink Ivory develops a smooth, silk-like finish and gains depth and character over time rather than fading.
Due to its rarity and distinctive beauty, it is reserved for high-end knife handles and finely crafted, limited objects.
