This wooden saya (鞘), the Japanese term for a blade scabbard, is designed to fit nakiri knives we carry and provide safe, secure protection for the blade during storage or transport. This B version is intended for larger nakiri profiles where the slimmer A saya is too narrow. All B sayas are made slightly larger than their A counterparts to accommodate taller blades and thicker spines. Fit is critical with wooden sayas, and even small differences in blade height, thickness, or profile can affect how the knife seats inside the scabbard, which is why compatibility is tightly controlled.
For the 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 are purchasing this saya separately, please tell us exactly which knife it is 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 have not handled. A black, tapered saya pin is included.
If a knife has a compatible saya, it will always be shown and linked on that knife’s product page. If no saya is listed, we do not have one that fits and recommend using a felt blade guard instead. If your new saya does not seem to fit at first, please check the knife orientation, as these sayas are designed for a specific blade direction—see photo #2 for the correct orientation.
