Description
Malaysian Red Wood, also known as Kayu Ciku, is a locally cherished hardwood recognized for its rich reddish-brown hue and smooth, even texture. Native to various parts of Malaysia, this wood is valued for its natural warmth in color, fine grain, and moderate density, making it both attractive and workable. Traditionally used in furniture, carvings, and decorative pieces, Kayu Ciku has recently found its place in knife making, particularly as a handle material that combines natural beauty with reliable performance. As a knife handle material, Kayu Ciku offers a comfortable grip and a warm, organic feel in the hand. Its reddish tone adds a classic, earthy elegance to the knife, appealing to those who appreciate understated, natural aesthetics. One of the special qualities of Kayu Ciku is how it ages — over time, the color deepens into a richer, darker red-brown, giving the handle a matured, refined look. Though not as dense as ebony, its stability and easy workability make it an excellent choice for those who want a beautiful, functional handle with traditional Malaysian character.
