### **Product Overview**

* **Handle Design:** A traditional octagonal **Wa-style handle**.
* **Material:** Light-colored natural hardwood with a prominent vertical grain.
* **Ferrule:** A contrasting dark polished ferrule (likely horn or high-density composite) that provides a comfortable, ergonomic transition for a pinch grip.
