Wa or Yo Handles?

[Marko Tsourkan]

Marko, what are the dimensions of that handle? The handle on my 10" Kramer Meji is a little tall at the ferrule but does not strike me as over-sized. I wonder if he makes his handles proportional, or perhaps has fixed sizes that aren't ideal for some blades.

I haven't taken measurements of the handle, but I am pretty sure it's similar size to yours. Massive might be a slight exaggeration, but the handle is bigger than the biggest wa handle I have (came with 270mm Shigefusa gyuto).
From the brief time I used the knife, the handle felt comfortable to hold, though I don't know how it would fair after hours of cutting. I generally prefer knives with not very tall machi and a bit smaller handle.
