This selection combines warm copper and reddish-brown grain with pale cream and golden areas. Swirls, ripples and small eye-like markings give each handle a different character, while the horn adds its own bands of cream, brown, grey and charcoal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChoose your exact handle.\u003c\/strong\u003e Every numbered option corresponds to the individual piece in its photograph, in the same order as the gallery.

Some pieces have a broad light-coloured section; others show mostly deep red-brown grain with a smaller contrasting accent. These patterns continue differently around the sides, so each face has its own appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHorn ferrule:\u003c\/strong\u003e the ferrule is the section at the blade end of the handle. Here, its smooth appearance complements the more intricate wood grain. The ferrules vary from pale cream to dark charcoal, with streaks and transitions that make them as individual as the wooden bodies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFaceted wa-style form:\u003c\/strong\u003e the flat faces provide clear points of reference in the hand.
