WTS Rosewood and water buffalo horn Wa handle

[KilgoreTrout]

Up for sale is a wa handle I finished but haven’t found a project for yet. Rosewood burl with a blonde horn spacer and a black horn ferrule.

finished with Tung oil and polished to a high sheen and waxed with a 50/50 mixture of bees wax and mineral oil.
I will ship it with ~30 grams of pure bees wax in order to set it on your knife.

Setting is simple, a monkey could do it(me) so I know you can. burn in the tang, remove knife. fill hole with liquid wax and insert tang again. Let wax solidify and then clean it off with alcohol.

All measurements metric
L: 138
W at base: 24.13
W at top: 22.53
Tang hole width: 11.71
Hole depth: 62
Weight: 52 grams
$140.00 usd shipped world wide

I think this shouldn't be in the non-knife section shouldn't it?

Honestly I don’t know. I’d tend to believe you over me. I’m new. If so I believe the mods can move it? Is there a way to get their attention? As in report it? If not I can take it down and do it over. I just assumed it was still classified knife.

edit:I reported and asked. Thank you regardless.

What size knife is this supposed to be for? Seems like a pretty shallow tang hole for this size handle.

i can drill it deeper for any purchaser if need be. But this is deep enough for a 240 gyuto that I’ve made.
