This is an octagonal Wa Style Handle made for Japanese style kitchen knives.
The body is made with Ringed Gidgee with kiln-dried Gabon Ebony and copper. The Gidgee is sourced from salvaged stumps from an eco conscious mate in Australia.
Medium sized, it is suited for a 240 Gyuto or similar. As Gidgee is a dense wood, I keep these a little thinner to help with balance.
Weight: 66g Length: 134.5 mm
widths: 26.3x20.9 tapers to 23x19
Handle is sanded to 800 grit, then coated in 5-6 coats of Tru-Oil.
Care :
- Handwash with soapy water and towel dry.
- Do not put in dishwasher, nor soak in water for long periods of time.
- Oil on a fairly regular basis, or sand with 0000 steel wool and reapply a sealer such as tru-oil as needed.
