Favorite Handle Thread

[Southpaw]

Sorry if there already is one of these, but I thought we should share what our favorite handles are… wa or yo.

I love everything by Tahei. But by far my favorite in my collection is the zebrawood handle I have on my suiboku. It pairs PERFECTLY with the knife in both aesthetics and balance.

This TX gyuto:

The blade profile wasn't quite ideal for me so I eventually sold it but the handle was a perfect combo of comfort and understated good looks.

Currently, I quite like the handle on this small gyuto from A.G. Klint... nice figured piece of birch burl and simple brass bolster.

Whatever makes it your favorite handle is up to you. I love the Zebrawood both aesthetically and how it balances the knife
