Colour placement is decided by how the pigments move in the pour rather than by a repeatable pattern, so no two handles match, including within a single set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA black bolster sits between the resin and the blade, secured with brass pins that carry through to the resin section. The sculpted profile flares at the butt, which gives the hand something to pull against during longer prep sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCured resin is non-porous, so the grip stays dimensionally stable in a wet kitchen and wipes clean without absorbing oils or odours.
