Product Details
This handle is designed to fit Yoshihiro Nakiri knives. Nakiri knives have a flat edge designed for straight push cuts through vegetables.
This handle is crafted from stabilized maple burl in Yoshihiro's Ocean Blue finish, paired with an alternative ivory bolster. Maple burl comes from the swirled, knotted grain found in maple trees, and stabilizing it with resin locks that figure in place while adding resistance to moisture and everyday wear. The alternative ivory bolster keeps a consistent, pale ivory tone from piece to piece.
It's built in the traditional octagonal Japanese handle shape and is available for blade lengths of 6.5" (165mm) and 7" (180mm). This listing is for the handle only; the knife blade is sold separately.
