Kotibe is a popular material for knife handles because of its ease of processing, its good response to various finishing methods, and its attractive appearance. It can be used to make nice knife handles, especially for kitchen or hunting knives. However, due to its medium hardness and density, Kotibe may be less resistant to abrasion and mechanical damage than some other woods, such as Jatoba and Badi, for example. Nevertheless, it is still a good material for knife handles, especially when properly finished and protected from moisture.
