The Pakkawood is a resin-infused wood material that provides a comfortable, ergonomic grip, making it easy to maneuver the knife for precise cuts. Its durable nature ensures that the handle will withstand frequent use while maintaining its beauty and smooth texture over time.For safety and preservation, the knife comes with a wooden Saya, a traditional Japanese protective sheath, ensuring that the blade stays safe and sharp between uses.
