One of the core values Konosuke has brought to this industry is their dedication to pushing conventional ideas in the knife making community. Their strong attention to detail of a knife's functionality and comfort is second to none, and can be seen in their lines like the HD2 and Fujiyama series. That same drive and dedication is shown in the handles of each and every knife. This style on traditional handles take on modern and elegant characteristics.
An ebony wood handle with a buffalo ferrule is a premium, traditional pairing, most commonly used for high-end Japanese kitchen knives (wa-handles). It blends striking aesthetics, dense durability, and exceptional weight distribution favored by professional chefs.
To maintain its timeless look, hand wash the handle with a mild dish soap and wipe it dry to avoid any excess moisture retention. You can also seal the wood with a food safe sealant such as beeswax. Oils such as linseed and tung oil would also be appropriate, though they would darken the color of the wood significantly.
