Withdrawn Two Ho-wood handles (EU)

[childermass]

Looking to sell these two stock handles. Both are made of Ho wood with horn ferrule. Prices are without shipping from Austria, I will ship internationally. Shipping won’t be pricey, please ask me for a quote.

1) octagonal shape, new and unused, measures 132x21.5x17.5mm, should fit a 240-270mm Yanagiba or anything similar. 35€ (39$)

2) d-shape, knocked off a 120mm Ajikiri, used the knife once with this handle, it’s sanded and finished with linseed oil, measures 113.5x22x16.5mm, should fit any shorter blade from Ajikiri to Petty quite nicely. 25€ (28$)

I just realized that the prices might be a little too high so let’s drop these a bit:

Octagonal: 35€ (39$)
D-shape: 25€ (28$)

What exactly is Ho Wood? I've only seen it mentioned very rarely in knife handles. The plant seems to have many medicinal properties though...?

I will keep these. Going to get some project knives in the near future anyway.
