End plate for shaft 25x39mm

A butt cap for a handle is an important component in knife making, both for strength and finish. It is mounted at the back of the handle to provide a solid finish while protecting the handle material against wear and stress over time.

Assembly is often done by passing the tang through the hole in the butt cap and riveting it in place. This provides a mechanical lock in addition to bonding with epoxy, resulting in a very strong and durable construction.

The butt cap has a slightly rounded, almost spoon-shaped design that provides a comfortable transition in the hand. This contributes not only to better comfort, but also to a more cohesive and harmonious knife design.

It is available in various metals such as nickel silver and brass. Nickel silver provides a bright and modern look, while brass adds a warmer and more classic tone. This makes it easy to match the butt cap to the rest of the material choices in your project.

As part of the whole, the butt cap plays an important role in both balance and construction. It adds extra weight to the back of the handle and contributes to a better feel in the hand during use.

The result is a knife with increased strength, better balance, and a clean, professional look – where even the smallest details have been thought through.
