Manor Back Handle - Matt Black

The Manor back handle brings an industrial edge to your kitchen cabinetry through its distinctive diamond-knurled grip and angular profile. This is Blum's interpretation of workshop-style hardware, designed for kitchens that favour character over convention.

Where It Fits

You'll typically find this handle on drawer fronts and cabinet doors where you want a strong visual statement. It works particularly well in kitchens with exposed brick, steel elements, or reclaimed timber, though it can equally provide contrast in more refined settings where you want to introduce texture and weight.

How It Works

The handle extends 39mm from your cabinet face, with the knurled diamond pattern running along its 254mm length. Your fingers naturally find purchase in the textured grip, which remains comfortable even when your hands are wet or greasy from cooking.

Design Consideration

This handle demands space around it to work visually. On narrow drawers or closely-spaced cabinet doors, it may feel overwhelming. The matt black finish shows fingerprints and water spots more readily than brushed metals, requiring regular wiping to maintain its appearance.

Build Quality

The handle is cast from zamac, a zinc alloy that provides durability while allowing the fine detail of the knurled pattern. The matt black coating has substance to it, not simply painted on. Blum backs this with a lifetime guarantee, reflecting their confidence in the mechanism and finish.

Options

This handle fits a 192mm hole centre spacing. The Manor collection includes other lengths and finishes if you need to coordinate across different cabinet sizes in your kitchen.

Consider how the industrial character of this handle aligns with your kitchen's overall direction. It's a commitment to a particular aesthetic rather than a neutral choice.
