A wenge handle pairs a tough, heavy wood to a Santoku’s thin double-bevel geometry, adding tactile traction and steady balance. The coarse grain and natural oils reduce slip while the straight or octagonal profile suits a pinch grip for linear slicing and push cuts. Wenge’s hardness resists dents and seasonal movement better than many light woods yet still requires gentle maintenance. Rinse by hand, wipe the ferrule and tang, dry completely, avoid harsh detergents or prolonged soaking, and refresh the handle with a small amount of food-safe oil to stabilize pores and deepen the dark finish.
