Octagonal Japanese Knife Handle – Red Kibao & Ebony Wood

Craft your perfect Japanese-style kitchen knife with this beautifully finished octagonal wood handle.

The classic octagonal shape offers a secure, ergonomic grip that is a hallmark of traditional Japanese knives — ideal for chef's knives, fish knives, and raw-prep blades.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does this octagonal knife handle come pre-finished and ready to install?

A: No — this is a handle blank intended for DIY knife making or handle replacement. Once received, you will need to sand the surface with sandpaper and polish with a bristle wheel to achieve a smooth, finished look. This allows you to customise the finish to your exact preference.

Q: What size knife tang does this handle fit?

A: The handle has a tang insertion (detachment) depth of approximately 67mm. It is designed to fit standard Japanese-style knife tangs. We recommend measuring your knife tang carefully before ordering to ensure compatibility.

Q: Will the grain pattern and colour of the wood I receive match the photos exactly?

A: Because Red Kibao wood and black sandalwood are natural materials, each handle will have unique grain patterns and slight colour variations. The handle you receive may differ from the product photos — this is a natural characteristic of real wood and adds to the handcrafted character of the finished knife.

Q: Is this handle suitable for both Japanese kitchen knives and fish/sashimi knives?

A: Yes. The octagonal shape and 115mm length make this handle well-suited for a range of Japanese-style blades including chef's knives (gyuto), fish knives, sashimi knives (yanagiba), and other raw-prep kitchen knives.
