Product Details
For Yoshihiro Gyuto knives of 7" (180mm), 8.25" (210mm) or 9.5" (240mm), this handle pairs ocean blue stabilized maple burl with a natural water buffalo horn bolster, whose colour varies from piece to piece. The octagonal profile gives a secure grip for long prep sessions.
This handle is crafted from stabilized maple burl in Yoshihiro's Ocean Blue finish, paired with a water buffalo horn bolster. Maple burl comes from the swirled, knotted grain found in maple trees, and stabilizing it with resin locks that figure in place while adding resistance to moisture and everyday wear. Water buffalo horn is a natural material, so its color varies from piece to piece, making each handle one of a kind.
It's built in the traditional octagonal Japanese handle shape and is available for blade lengths of 7 (180mm), 8.25" (210mm), and 9.5" (240mm). This listing is for the handle only; the knife blade is sold separately.
