All of the large and most of the small Sakai knives are delivered with a handmade saya, a wooden sheath, custom made for each knife to guarantee a perfect fit and protection. Most Japanese cooks would never dream of buying a handmade knife without such protection. As Sakai Japanese Knives believes you will enjoy a long relationship with the knives, we include a saya with almost all our knives to protect the blade from one generation to the next.
