We've paired Yoshikane's incredible blade with a one-off stabilised black ash burl and contrasting black g10 spacers featuring a superbly subtle orange and blue hue running through the handle.
This exceptional handle is made and fitted in the UK by custom handle maker @letshandlethis.

Our aim is to measure and photograph all our products as accurately as possible but due to the handmade nature of many items, please be aware that there may be some variance in the measurements and that things such as blade and knife handle patterns can vary and presentation boxes may differ from those shown but we will always endeavour to provide the most accurate measurements, photos and descriptions of our products.
Some measurements such as HRC are provided by the manufacturer and should therefore be used as a guide.
Compatable saya or guard
There is currently no wooden saya available for this knife so we recommend a gyuto sized blade guard instead.
