The colors of the handle are not as clear and vibrant as in the picture; instead, they actually look rather dull unless held directly under a light. Also, right around the knot, there is a 1mm wide ring area where the handle material is white and rough (unpolished, no color). The knot itself is fine. All in all, I'm disappointed. Wouldn't have bought it if I had known how it looks in reality.
