This wooden saya — the Japanese term for a blade scabbard — is designed to fit santoku knives we carry with thinner spines, providing safe, secure protection during storage or transport. Fit is critical with wooden sayas: even small differences in blade height, thickness, or profile can affect how a knife seats inside, which is why compatibility is tightly controlled.
For best results, we strongly recommend purchasing the knife and saya together so we can use your actual knife as a template and drill the pin hole for proper alignment. If you're purchasing this saya separately, please note the exact knife it's for in the Comments section of your shopping cart. We only sell sayas for knives we carry, as proper fit cannot be reliably guaranteed for knives we haven't handled. A black, tapered saya pin is included.
If a knife has a compatible saya, it will be shown and linked on that knife's product page. If no saya is listed, we don't carry one that fits — we recommend a felt blade guard instead.

Ordered this with a Tamahagane santoku. Fits just right, well-made, reasonable price. Everything I have come to expect from Chefknivestogo. Thanks Mark for an outstanding site and service

If I have anything bad to say about this product it would have to be that I wish the fit was a little tighter, as in the back and forth movement in side the saya could of been the pin closer to the blade to reduce movement, but great look and feel great grain when seasoned and polished.
