Just two numbers — height and thickness where the blade meets the handle (the machi) — and leave the handle on, which is the normal way to measure. A ruler is fine. Measuring guide. We do want the numbers: each handle is shaped to one knife, never cut to one size for everyone. If measuring is not practical, tell us the maker and model instead, and we will work from that. Or leave it blank and send them after checkout — we ask again on your order page, and work starts once we have what we need.

The Wood

Siamese rosewood, also known as Thai rosewood, is renowned for its rich reddish-brown coloring and interlocking grain patterns. Prized in Southeast Asian woodworking traditions, it offers excellent durability and a natural oil content that helps resist moisture. The warm tones deepen beautifully with age and use, developing a rich patina that makes each handle more beautiful over time.

Made to order

Made to fit: this handle is made after you order and cut to your knife — we hold no finished stock. Exact dimensions are confirmed from your blade and tang measurements before work starts. We do not use one universal size for every knife.

Returns: because your handle is cut to one knife, it cannot be returned simply because you changed your mind — see the cancellation policy for what you get back at each stage. Damage, faults and anything not as described are always covered.

Purpose-built for deba and other single-bevel Japanese knives, this handle features a slightly wider profile to accommodate the heavier blade geometry. Crafted from premium Siamese rosewood with its rich reddish-brown tones and interlocking grain, finished with a buffalo horn ferrule. Traditional octagonal shape for confident grip.

Deba knives are fishmongers’ tools, meant to be levered against fish-bone to separate meat from backbone — the grip has to take torque that a regular slicer never sees. The slightly thicker cross-section of this handle absorbs those forces comfortably, and Siamese rosewood’s interlocking grain resists splitting along the force lines better than straight-grained woods.

Fit notes

Use this Octagonal (Deba) handle as a fit-first choice: confirm blade length, tang size, and current balance before ordering. Siamese Rosewood changes the feel in the hand, while Buffalo Horn sets the visual transition at the blade side.

Maintenance notes

Wipe the handle dry after washing, avoid soaking or dishwasher heat, and check the ferrule joint if you notice movement, swelling, gaps, or odor. Refresh dry wood lightly with food-safe oil only when the surface looks thirsty.
