Cocobolo is a true jewel in cutlery. It has particularities that make it different from all other exotic wood species. For example, it is rare; extremely rare. For its tree to grow, develop and reach maturity, it takes a century! In addition, the density of cocobolo is so high that it can sink in the sea.
This wood only grows in certain regions of the world, which makes it even more valuable. It is only found in Mexico, Nicaragua, Honduras and Costa Rica. The plant species that produces it is Dalbergia Retusa. It can grow between 20 and 25 m in height.
If cocobolo is frequently used, it is not by chance. The first reason is its aesthetics. It has an oily and fine texture that enhances the design of the accessory made. In addition, it can change color once it is cut. It can take on an orange-brown hue or an orange color. Its beauty is one of its main assets.
Another reason is the resistance of wood. In addition to being dense, it is very robust. It withstands extreme temperatures, aggression, water, etc. In fact, it is the perfect wood for creating kitchen accessories, such as knives, especially since water is used in cooking.
It is also used to design models, guitars, etc.
Buying a knife with a handle made from this wood means you can be sure that it will last for years to come.
