Find out more about abalone
Abalone is a marine shell from certain molluscs of the Haliotidae family, often referred to as ‘sea-ear’. This material is prized for its beauty and shimmering colours, which vary from blue to green, pink and violet, creating unique iridescent reflections. The surface of abalone is smooth and shiny, making it a popular choice for knife handles, jewellery and decorative objects.
As a material for knife handles, abalone is valued not only for its aesthetic appeal, but also for its strength and durability. However, working with it requires considerable expertise, as it is relatively fragile and can crack under excessive pressure. Its rarity and exceptional visual properties make abalone a luxury material, often used in top-of-the-range knives.
