The Profile

Name	Slim Octagonal
Description	The slim octagonal profile is a refined evolution of the traditional Japanese WA handle, designed for those who value precision and comfort in equal measure. Flatter and slightly narrower than the classic form, it fits naturally in the hand, offering a secure yet effortless grip that enhances blade control during delicate work. The subtle reduction in girth allows for a closer connection between chef and knife—particularly appreciated by professionals who use a pinch grip for extended periods. This style was popularized by Tsukiji Masamoto, one of Tokyo’s most respected knife houses, and has since become a hallmark of understated elegance. Whether crafted in ebony, rosewood, or stabilized wood, the slim octagonal shape strikes a perfect balance between traditional geometry and modern ergonomics—streamlined, lightweight, and incredibly responsive in hand.
Pros	Classic with a twist Extra comfortable Unique style - Tsukiji Masamoto

Overview

A statement of precision and craftsmanship, this K&S premium handle pairs the timeless beauty of ebony with an exceptionally difficult detail — a square mosaic pin. Unlike traditional round pins, which can be installed through a simple drilled hole, a square pin demands painstaking hand-fitting and machining accuracy. Each corner must align perfectly within the dense, unforgiving ebony wood — a process that tests even the most skilled artisans.

The handle’s slim octagonal profile further elevates its refinement. Flatter and more contoured than standard WA handles, it offers a secure, comfortable grip and superb balance in hand, particularly for those who value control and finesse. The deep, mirror-black tone of ebony complements the gleaming mosaic centerpiece, creating a harmonious blend of tradition and modern craftsmanship.

Elegant, balanced, and uncompromising in detail — this handle exemplifies the K&S philosophy: beauty through mastery.
