The handle is Pakka & Pakka Ferrule.

Leigh's 2 cents: A very beautiful knife and handle considering its price.
This is a great Japanese starter knife. Cutting performance that wont break the bank.
This knife is stainless steel and a little softer (RHC) than some Japanese knives making it more forgiving and durable.
Easy to use and care for.
