Burnt Urashi Octagonal Handle
This special handle is made of oak wood, which has excellent wear resistance as well as antibacterial properties.
The shape of the handle is octagonal with very finely machined edges to achieve maximum comfort in the hand. What really separates this handle from others is the finish, which first of all involves a light burning of the oak, which further improves its resistance. After firing, each handle is hand coated with Urashi Japanese lacquer which gives it a final shine, durability and comfort. A thin layer of Urashi coating gives you a perfect hand feel and finesse to the touch. In addition to the aforementioned, the varnish emphasizes the natural texture of the wood and makes it take on non-slip properties.
These handles can only be installed on "hidden tang" traditionally made knives.
Burnt Urashi handles are available in sizes specially adapted for Gyuto, Santoku, Sujihiki and Petty knives.
You can install the handle on your knife yourself or in our shop.
Everything you need to know about sharpening
If you are buying your first Japanese knife, the advice is to choose a multifunctional blade shape that will cover the widest range of your needs in the kitchen. This includes Gyuto, Santoku and Bunka. The rule is that bigger people need bigger knives and vice versa.

Although in the culture of the Far East it is not recommended to give a blade as a gift because of the connection with cutting off good relations, they also could not resist the perfection of such a gift, so they devised a "trick" that allows them to gift knives without problems. Just ask for one coin from the person receiving the gift and in the eyes of strict superstition spirits it will be a fair exchange. Now no joke, a knife is a gift that unlike other transient things will be remembered forever because it will serve forever.
