Détail de l’ouverture interne du saya Kiritsuke 240 mm

This saya (wooden sheath) is designed for a 240 mm kiritsuke-style knife. It is made from ho wood (magnolia), which is often chosen for saya due to its resistance to moisture and stability.

The model is signed (mumei) and has a simple finish to allow the natural beauty of the wood to shine through.

The internal dimensions are designed to accommodate a 240 mm blade. The saya measures 275 × 59 × 12 mm externally. It weighs approximately 52 g.

In use, this saya provides essential protection for the blade, especially during transport or storage, preventing the cutting edge from coming into contact with hard objects. Its relatively soft wood is less aggressive to the blade than harder materials. However, it is not designed for extreme protection against shocks, but for safe and respectful storage.

When caring for the saya, it is advisable to always insert the blade when it is completely dry to prevent moisture from becoming trapped in the sheath, which could cause rust if the knife is made of carbon steel. Even though this saya can be used with stainless steel blades, the same rule applies. Light internal wiping (with a dry cloth) can be done if the saya has been exposed to a little moisture. Finally, avoid leaving the saya exposed to extreme temperature variations or prolonged humidity to protect the stability of the wood.

Product Remarks

Please note that each handle is unique and may exhibit distinct variations, such as differences in the hue or color of the buffalo horn, which is part of its authentic, handcrafted character.

Warranty

Each knife is covered by a lifetime guarantee against obvious manufacturing defects. For example, if the handle comes loose or cracks after a few weeks of proper use, or if the blade develops a crack along the edge or blade spine. These issues are rare, but they can occur. In such cases, we will offer you an exchange for the same product or a refund. As every case is different, it is at our discretion to assess whether our lifetime guarantee against obvious manufacturing defects applies.
