Pau Rosa is a strikingly beautiful tropical wood known for its captivating range of colors, from rich chocolate browns to vibrant Padauk-like reds, oranges, yellows, and even purples, depending on its region of origin. This dense timber exhibits wavy or interlocked grain patterns and a moderately coarse texture, yet remains easy to work, turning, gluing, and finishing exceptionally well. Inspired by the acclaimed Nenox Western handle, this Wa-style design boasts a distinctive curved rear end, combining aesthetic elegance with ergonomic comfort, making it the perfect complement for traditional Japanese knives.
