The rich warmth of Bubinga is beautifully complemented by the deep black elegance of Ebony, creating a striking two-tone design that is both timeless and unmistakably refined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBubinga, native to Central Africa, has long been prized for its exceptional density, stability, and vibrant natural beauty. Known for its rich reddish-brown colour, subtle figuring, and outstanding durability, it has been used for generations in fine furniture, musical instruments, and luxury woodworking. As the wood matures, it develops an even deeper warmth and character, making every handle uniquely beautiful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEbony has been admired for centuries as one of the world's finest hardwoods. Exceptionally dense, naturally durable, and renowned for its deep black appearance, it provides both visual contrast and remarkable longevity. Together, Bubinga and Ebony create a harmonious balance of warmth and sophistication that pairs beautifully with everything from rustic kurouchi finishes to polished Damascus blades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pentagonal profile provides a distinctive ergonomic feel that naturally indexes the blade in your hand, offering excellent control and comfort during extended use. Whether you're a professional chef or an enthusiastic home cook, the handle feels secure, balanced, and intuitive from the very first cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for knives with blade lengths between 150mm and 210mm, this versatile handle is perfectly suited for petty knives, bunka, santoku, gyuto, and other medium-sized Japanese blades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause each handle is handcrafted from natural wood, no two are ever exactly alike. Variations in colour, grain, and figure are part of what makes every piece unique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003eSpecifications\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Image Plant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Style:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pentagonal (Wa Handle)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bubinga \u0026amp; Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium (M)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Blade Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 150–210mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade in:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ibaraki, Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; line-height: normal;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;\"\u003eThis product ships from Japan, we cannot control duties or taxes for various countries. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: normal;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;\"\u003e== Shipping cost ==\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: normal;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;\"\u003eShipping cost is calculated after you add product(s) to the shipping cart and when you checkout.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: normal;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;\"\u003eWe currently have special volume discount from FedEx and you will be able to choose which shipping option based on price and delivery schedule. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: normal;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: normal;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;\"\u003e== Global shipment ==\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: normal;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;\"\u003eWe ship globally.
