Yoshihiro Ebony Wood with Water Buffalo Horn Bolster Handles

Ebony paired with water buffalo horn is the traditional premium handle for Japanese knives. Ebony is dense, hard and deep black, polishing to a smooth, durable finish. Water buffalo horn has long been used for bolsters because it is tough and resists moisture.

These Yoshihiro replacement wa handles are available for petty, gyuto, yanagi, kiritsuke and other knife types. For a more decorative version, see our triple ring ebony handles, or browse all knife handles.
