Takeshi Saji's western handle is a standout feature that combines both rustic charm and practical design. Made from exotic materials such as stag bone, Arizona desert ironwood or synthetic tirqipose, each handle is unique, showcasing the natural textures and variations that give it a distinct, earthy appeal. The rugged, natural look of the materials complements the blade’s craftsmanship, offering a timeless and rustic aesthetic that sets it apart from modern synthetic handles.

Not only is the handle visually striking, but it also provides a comfortable grip, making it easy to control during extended use. This handle design is one of Saji-san’s signatures, blending tradition with functionality, and is a true testament to his craftsmanship and attention to detail.
