Blue Spruce Toolworks’ Dovetail Chisels are unique in themselves, with cryogenically treated A-2 steel blades, backs that are lapped perfectly flat then polished to a mirror-finish, and expertly ground and carefully hand-sharpened bevels, they take and hold an edge like no other. But what makes these Blue Spruce Dovetail Chisels truly special are their spectacular Pink Ivory handles. An extraordinary wood that’s considered to be one of the rarest species in the world, Pink Ivory has a history that is as fascinating as its gorgeous, vibrant appearance and its extreme scarcity. Luckily for us, we managed to obtain a quantity large enough for a very limited production run of our 4-piece Dovetail Chisel Set complete with stunning Pink Ivory handles.

An extraordinary wood that’s considered to be one of the rarest species in the world, Pink Ivory can be found scattered along the southeastern African plains. Only its heartwood produces the gorgeous, vibrant range of watermelon pink and red hues. Once held sacred by the Zulus in South Africa, possession of the wood was once punishable by death if you were not of Zulu royalty. The size of its tree and yield size certainly adds to the rarity of Pink Ivory, too. Appearing more like a scrub than a traditional tree, it ranges in height from 20’ to 35’ with diameters of just 6” up to only 12”. After sawing and drying, a large board free of defects might be long as 24” long by just 2-4” wide at just 1” in thickness.
