Traditional Japanese wooden sheaths protect a knife's edge when stored in a drawer or knife roll.
Japanese Magnolia wood, is often used to make saya covers for traditional and Western-style knives. Ho wood is the perfect protection for knives; it is soft, moisture-resistant and contains no strong resins that might cause corrosion in carbon steel. The ho-no-ki of Korin's saya covers is grown in northern Japan, where the cold climate encourages the growth of densely-grained wood that will not warp.
Saya pin is included with purchase.
We strongly encourage our customers to purchase a saya cover with your knife to ensure a proper fit.
