Overview

The K&S Octagonal Ebony Handle with Blonde/Marble Ferrule is a premium custom handle designed to elevate both the performance and aesthetics of your Japanese kitchen knife. Crafted from solid ebony, the handle features a deep, rich black tone that is not only visually striking but also provides a dense, durable, and well-balanced feel in hand. The octagonal shape offers an ergonomic grip, ensuring comfort and control for both right- and left-handed users.

Complementing the dark elegance of ebony, the ferrule is fitted in either natural blonde or marble-patterned horn, creating a beautiful contrast that highlights the handcrafted character of the handle. Each ferrule is slightly different, giving every piece a one-of-a-kind personality.

Combining traditional Japanese design with refined materials, this handle is ideal for replacing or upgrading the stock handle of your knife, delivering both functional stability and timeless sophistication.

Ferrule Materials

Material	Marble / Blonde Horn View Media
Colour	Blonde
Description	Blonde or marble buffalo horn is one of the most sought-after materials used for Japanese knife handles and ferrules. Naturally formed from water buffalo horn, the blonde variety features a translucent golden hue with elegant cream and grey marbling. Due to its rarity—only a small fraction of harvested horn displays this coloration—it commands a premium price. Each piece must be carefully selected and polished to reveal its deep, glass-like luster. Beyond aesthetics, buffalo horn offers superb density, stability, and moisture resistance, making it both functional and luxurious. For collectors and enthusiasts, blonde or marble horn signifies refinement and exclusivity.
