Kanetsune Wooden Saya for Petty Knife (Up to 150mm)

⭐ Chosen by Sharp Knives Malta

Selected for cooks who want to protect their Japanese petty or small utility knife with an authentic wooden saya designed for safe storage and transport.

Traditional Protection for Your Japanese Knife

A sharp knife deserves proper protection.

This original Kanetsune wooden saya is crafted from magnolia wood, the traditional material used in Japan for knife sheaths. Designed for petty and small vegetable knives with blades up to 150mm, it protects the cutting edge while making storage and transport safe and convenient.

Whether you're storing your knife at home or carrying it in a knife roll, a saya helps preserve the edge and prevents accidental damage.

Secure Fit with Locking Pin

The saya includes a traditional wooden locking pin (mekugi) that passes through the handle area to secure the knife inside the sheath.

This prevents the blade from slipping out during transport, giving you extra confidence when carrying your knives between kitchens or storing them in a knife bag.

Benefits include:

• secure blade retention
• safe transport
• protection against accidental slips
• traditional Japanese design
