Yoshihiro Kiritsuke Chef Knife Handles

These Yoshihiro replacement wa handles are sized for kiritsuke chef knives. Choose from rosewood, ebony, ambrosia maple, stabilized maple burl and colored stabilized woods, with bolsters of ebony, mahogany, water buffalo horn, howlite or alternative ivory.

A new handle is an easy way to restore a well-used knife or give it a personal touch. A Japanese wa handle is lighter than a Western handle and moves the balance toward the blade for precise control. We recommend having handles fitted by a knife specialist. Shop our kiritsuke knives.
