Product Information

Looking to freshen up your knife or replace a well worn handle then refitting a new Japanese wa handle is a very easy process and great way to change your knife. From every angle, the Gekko knife reminded me of the way that the shape and light of the Moon changes each night. Kuchiwa “口輪” is another way of saying Kakumaki/Tsunomaki “角巻”, but in recent years the term Katsura “桂” has become more widely used to refer to ferrule.

Originally famous for the production of Samurai swords, the makers in Sakai take pride in their work and never compromise on quality. Our Japanese knives have authentic balsam wood handles and are beautifully crafted, which makes them stunning additions to any kitchen. Prestigious ‘wa’ handles are often made from ebony, and are most often topped with a water buffalo horn ferrule. For ‘wa’ handles, softer wood is often preferred because it is extremely light and has a nice, grippable texture.Unquestionably our most popular chef knife set, our walnut collection features the best kitchen knives any home cook or chef will ever need - an 8. For over one thousand years Japan has been at the leading edge in the crafting of breathtaking blades.

As a result, magnolia wood handles are very popular among Japanese chefs, especially skilled sushi chefs. In the past, the term Tsunomaki was used only for animal horn ferrule such as water buffalo horn ferrule, but nowadays this same term applies to plastic or wooden ferrule as well. They are of both extremely high quality whilst being functional and appropriate for everyday kitchen use.

Aside from magnolia wood, the most common types of wood used for ‘wa’ handles are rosewood, ebony wood, walnut, cherry, oak, maple, and chestnut. v=1696415025"}},"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]},{"id":42926887108853,"title":"3.
