How does the keyaki handle from CKC feel? I believe my 210mm from KW has a cherry handle - or KW lists it as cherry anyway. The grain looks quite similar, albeit lighter, to my keyaki handle from Watanabe, but the feel is different. The Wat handle feels more.. open-pore, soft and looks matte (kind of like ho wood), whereas the Mazaki handle is harder and the wood feels sealed. I'm wondering if it's really cherry after all, or just keyaki finished differently.
Anyone has any idea? How does your CKC keyaki handle feel?
