looking for a source for cheap wa handles

[milesonend]

im looking for a reliable source for wa handles

nothing fancy, just a plain cheap wa handle.

i collect old beat up sashimi knives and get them back into serviceable condition and give them to new sushi chefs for their first knife.

the handles on the old ones and often cracked, and full of crap.

I've seen some on Rakuten, they appear to have plastic ferrules. sorry I can't find a link but they are pretty cheap

Edit:

Shipping should be very reasonable, and you can ask for VAT off for outside EU shipping, around 20%.

Not super cheap but not too expensive:
