Pakkawood is most commonly used to make kitchen knife handles because of its strong water resistance and high durability.
Pakkawood is actually synthetic plywood, also known as Staminawood and Colorwood. Pakkawood is manufactured from high-quality wood that is polished and stained, then infused with resin to make it waterproof, hard-wearing, and durable.
Pakkawood handles are an alternative to natural wood handles, which are prone to cracking and discoloration.
