Purpleheart

We’re proud to offer Purple Heart handles in mixed grade. While we do not specify #1 or #2 grade, Purple Heart is a strong material excellent for a user or wall hanger.

These handles are elegantly and ergonomically sculpted, ending in a generous palm swell. The handle comes with a “cone-end” below the palm swell. This feature presents multiple benefits to the handle, such as protection against damage to the palm swell when fitting. Once fitted you have the option of leaving it as-is, cutting it off to the curvature of the swell or rounding it over to add a classy, vintage style bulb end. Your handle will come with 1 walnut wedge.

  • We don’t recommend burning our handles as this can create cracks and may compromise the integrity of the handle. Any burned handles will not be guaranteed.

Did you know?

Purple heart wood actually has a nearly identical Janka hardness rating, and flexibility rating as hickory making it an excellent choice for both a user or a wall hanger!
