Premium Ebony & Recycled Skateboard | Handmade in Japan | Japanese Craftsmanship with Modern Character
Some of the most extraordinary creations emerge when traditional craftsmanship meets unconventional materials.
Handcrafted by Image Plant in Ibaraki, Japan, this distinctive pentagonal wa-handle brings together the timeless sophistication of premium Ebony hardwood and the vibrant personality of recycled skateboard wood.
The result is a striking fusion of Japanese craftsmanship, contemporary design, and creative sustainability—a handle that transforms an exceptional Japanese knife into something truly individual.
Ebony is prized for its exceptional density, durability, and deep, sophisticated colour. Paired with recycled skateboard material, its understated appearance provides a beautiful contrast to the colourful laminated layers, giving the handle a distinctive character without compromising its refined aesthetic.
The recycled skateboard component gives discarded material a new purpose while ensuring that every handle has its own individual pattern and colour combination. No two pieces are ever exactly alike.
Its combination of traditional and modern materials pairs beautifully with a wide variety of Japanese blade finishes, from polished migaki and intricate Damascus to traditional kasumi and rustic kurouchi.
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.
Because of the nature of recycled skateboard material, variations in colour, pattern, and layering are part of what makes every piece unique.
