Chinese handles?

[noideaatall1]

These don't look half bad? Has anyone tried them?

To.....busy for me.

I'm not a fan of that colour scheme either. But that's just personal preference. Otherwise, they look good.

Too gaudy for me, I'm a fan of natural-finish wood but someone may like them.

I would hope there is a protective finish of some kind, because if that's a surface color stain, it might wear off with enough use over time. That's not a concern with ho wood or hardwood handles.

Reminds me of the stuff my little sister used to make, by melting bits of crayons to make a new one

Everything that company makes looks horrible.

Omg, just imagine if we combined

Based on the description it talks about compressed wood and dye, seems like an Ikea(ish) construction.
Just curious from a health and safety perspective, would it be more prone to harbor bacteria?

Ugly as sin. Also the finish doesn’t look very good. Harsh edges and corners

 

[valgard]

Those should be burned IMO

I like them! Lots of colors. Makes me happy! But I do see the risk of migraine if I actually used it.

I think the maker has potential if he/she refines his aesthetic sense over time, assuming the price is very economical compared to other western handle makers of course

Cost 22USD so I thought I might as well buy one and give it a "tear down".

I wonder why sashimi-knife handles, rather than handles for Chinese-style knives?

 

[Cbt]

These are ugly

Does he / she make custom ones?

The average ‘chef’s knife’ here costs well under 22US, handle replacements cost under a dollar. The middle class buys expensive knifes almost exclusively from zwilling [sic] hobbiests are weeaboos and rare, expensive knife collectors are 90% home management guys buying ‘art’ for a billionaires mansion.

I'm not sure but base on the other products in the store I doubt it. Looks to be quantity over quality.
