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.
