The Profile

Name	Standard Octagonal
Description	The state of the art octagonal handle found in countless Japanese kitchen knives. This profile is used by most of the Sakai knife makers and is the type of the WA handle that you might have came across before. If you don't know exactly which octagonal handle to choose, this is the one.

Overview

This handle represents the essence of Japanese simplicity — elegant, understated, and built to last. Crafted entirely from a single piece of solid African Ebony, it eliminates the need for a separate horn ferrule while maintaining a clean, minimal aesthetic.

Ebony, known for its deep black tone and fine, dense grain, gives this handle a weighty, confident feel in hand. The octagonal profile provides excellent ergonomics for both right- and left-handed users, ensuring a natural, balanced grip during use.

While it forgoes expensive materials like buffalo horn, this design doesn’t compromise on quality — instead, it offers exceptional craftsmanship and value. A perfect choice for those who appreciate refined minimalism and practical beauty, and want a premium Japanese handle without the premium price tag.
