Bought D Ho Handle for 240

[@ftermath]

Looking for a D-shaped ho wood handle with either blonde or marbled horn ferrule. Looking for a nicer version in very good to excellent condition, maybe a Shig or Masamoto take off.

Also - if anyone knows where to buy new, I would appreciate some direction.

I believe hitohira has them, not sure if they’re in stock

Nice. I don’t know how I forgot about that site. No 240 D handles in stock though. I’ll keep an eye on them. Thanks!

His work is amazing but he never answered my first message asking for a western rehandle. Would he do a basic (but high quality) ho wood D handle?

Thanks. I keep an eye on them but it seems like they’ve only had yanagiba handles for a while.

Think I got what I needed. Thanks for the help folks!

A very nice forum member came through with a couple of takeoffs.

Did you ever hear back from Graydon decollibus?

Asking as another person that has been trying to find simple but well-made D (ideally ho) handles but has not has good luck

 

[@ftermath]

I didn’t. I only messaged him the once though. I’d be interested in knowing for future reference. It would be awesome to be able to guarantee the quality of the handle and pick the ferrule material.

Actually I buy them from Hitohira, they have quite a range to choose from and reasonable prices even with shipping to Germany and customs duty. Leftovers from my last order:

How do you make sure you’re getting blonde or black horn?
