This is a solid brass pull handle with a knurled texture that runs along its length. The knurling creates a series of fine ridges that catch the light and provide grip, giving what might otherwise be a simple bar handle a distinctive industrial character.
Where It Fits
At 160mm centres, this handle works well on standard drawer fronts and smaller cabinet doors. The polished chrome finish and knurled detailing suit kitchens where you want hardware that feels substantial but not overwhelming. It works particularly well in spaces that mix industrial elements with cleaner lines.
How It Works
The knurled surface provides natural grip points along the handle's length. You can grasp it anywhere rather than needing to find specific finger positions, which makes it comfortable for different hand sizes and approach angles.
Why It Matters
The texture serves a practical purpose beyond appearance. When your hands are damp from cooking or washing up, the ridged surface gives you more purchase than a smooth handle would. The solid brass construction means it won't flex or feel hollow when you pull heavier drawers.
Design Consideration
The knurled texture is quite pronounced, so it becomes a feature rather than disappearing into the background. This works well when you want the hardware to contribute to the kitchen's character, but less so if you prefer handles that blend away. The industrial associations of knurling may not suit every kitchen style, despite the polished chrome finish.
Build Quality
Manufactured from solid brass throughout and precision engineered to create consistent knurling. The polished chrome finish is applied over the textured surface, maintaining the definition of each ridge. Bolt fixings are included for secure mounting through the door or drawer front.
Options
This handle is available in five different finishes as part of the Fingertip collection. Matching knobs are available if you want to use both handles and knobs within the same kitchen while maintaining visual consistency.
Consider whether the pronounced texture aligns with how you want your kitchen to feel day to day. The knurled surface makes this handle a talking point rather than purely functional hardware.
