Hi guys!

This is a custom handmade wa handle that is suitable for santoku, gyuto or nakiri knives with a length ranging from 165mm to 210mm. This handle have a slightly taper shape from front to back, which creates a really pleasant and well-balanced use. The heptagonal shape offers a natural grip which is really suitable for pinch grip. With daylight, this wood offer a soft and nice hint of red and have some curly reflection into it.

I offer international delivery and the cost will be calculated according to the destination. As a general rule for the United States it is around $20CAD and in Europe, around $27CAD. Everything is well packaged in a small box and carefully prepared with a little personalized note.

ADJUSTING THE OPENING
You will need to adjust the opening accordingly for the tang of your knife. Please make sure to remove your handle first and measure it before considering buying it. To fine tunes the opening I recommend using a rasp or a file.

INSTALLATION
I highly recommend using epoxy to install my handle. The tang heating method is not suitable for this type of construction because the bonding is made from epoxy. The high heated temperature of the tang can soften the glue and cause breakage. Of course feel free to contact me if you want some help!
