Product Details
This handle is designed to fit Yoshihiro Kiritsuke knives. Kiritsuke knives combine traits of a gyuto and a yanagi in one all-purpose blade.
This handle is crafted from ambrosia wood, a light, honey-toned wood with natural grain variation, paired with an ebony bolster. Ambrosia wood gets its name from the ambrosia beetle, whose feeding trails can leave subtle streaks in the grain as the tree grows, so pieces are never perfectly uniform. Ebony's deep black tone sits at the bolster end of the handle.
It's built in the traditional octagonal Japanese handle shape and is available for blade lengths of 7" (180mm), 8.25" (210mm), and 9.5" (240mm). This listing is for the handle only; the knife blade is sold separately.
