Yo ashi in White 2

[Danzo]

I vaguely remember seeing these a couple years ago on the bay. Was i tripping or did they ever make western handles ashi in white? I know the stainless is still available from a bunch of retailers.

Tempting. I know I have seen themself with yo handles. Just not as common anymore.

We can certainly order something like that for you. Western handles arent as in demand, so we obviously order less of them. Even more so for carbon steel western handled knives. Generally, the customers who want carbon steel also tend to prefer japanese style handles. But if you are interested, let us know and we can order one (it just takes a long time for them to get around to making it).

I thought about that one hard for my beater haha. I had purchased a ginsan 240 tanaka from a canada retailer with a nice profile and height at the heel for my beater or I would of pulled the trigger.

Good to know! I’m pretty sure I saw them on your site once a while ago. Usually I prefer wa handles myself but sometimes carving huge briskets in a pinch etc can get slightly messy and for me westerns are just easier to clean quickly and move on.

@Danzo arent you just going to rehandle it anyway? I wonder if you can just get a western without handle.

yeah I will, I have two pieces of white corian. But I don’t know if I want to go with white for both my Ryusen and an ashi.

Ashi showed some gorgeous Western handled Ginga knives in orange color in Sakai...
