This sheath is made from vegetable-tanned Japanese cowhide and sized to fit Konosuke 210mm laser gyutos. It is the right way to protect a laser-thin blade during storage or travel - a soft cloth sleeve does not anchor the knife, and a hard plastic guard can loosen over time, but a properly fitted leather sheath keeps the blade secure, protects the edge, and ages well.
Always insert the knife spine-first to guide the edge safely into the sheath and reduce the chance of cutting the leather. To remove the knife, angle the back of the blade toward you as you draw it out, keeping the edge away from the leather opening.
Care Instructions: Leather care is simple: keep the sheath dry and allow it to air out between uses. Condition the leather occasionally with a small amount of leather conditioner or beeswax to maintain suppleness. Never store the knife in the sheath when the blade is wet or damp.
