Premium Ebony | Handmade in Japan | Fits 150–210mm Blades
Some materials never lose their appeal.
For centuries, Ebony has been regarded as one of the world's most luxurious hardwoods, admired for its remarkable density, deep black colour, and exceptional durability. It is a wood chosen not for trends, but for its timeless beauty and enduring performance.
Handcrafted by Image Plant in Ibaraki, this premium pentagonal wa-handle showcases Ebony in its purest form. Carefully selected for its rich colour and natural elegance, each handle highlights the refined craftsmanship that has become synonymous with traditional Japanese knife making.
Exceptionally dense and naturally stable, Ebony offers a reassuring balance in the hand while standing up to years of everyday use. Its smooth texture and subtle natural grain create an understated sophistication that pairs effortlessly with every blade finish—from polished Damascus and refined migaki to classic kasumi and rustic kurouchi. The result is a handle that feels every bit as premium as the knife it accompanies.
The 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.
Designed 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.
Because 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.
