At MIKURIYA, the handle follows a clear hierarchy of mastery.
Our basic specification features ebony combined with water buffalo horn,
offering a smooth grip and dignified weight that meld seamlessly into the hand.
The advanced models elevate this with the fusion of silver, platinum,
or 18K gold, transforming the handle into a piece of functional art.
And then, there is the pinnacle of our craft.
In these ultimate models, the handle is fully detachable,
and each tang (nakago) is engraved with a unique serial number.
Through this serial number, the knife is registered within our Members or Owners Club,
and its production year, ownership, and even the artisans behind each component
are thoroughly documented and preserved.
This is not merely a tool, but a certified, one-of-a-kind masterpiece
destined to be inherited for generations.
