Sakai Takayuki | Ho-wood Sheath (Saya) | 270mm | For Sujihiki (Slicer)

【Enveloping the Supreme Long Blade in Serenity and Security】Sakai Takayuki Ho-wood Sheath 270mm (For Sujihiki)

Usage: This protective sheath is designed specifically for the 270mm "Sujihiki" (Slicer), a tool highly valued in professional settings for carving large cuts of meat and portioning fillets of large fish. It safely guards the exceptionally sharp and elongated blade during storage, movement within the kitchen, or when transporting the knife to off-site locations. More than just protecting the delicate edge from accidental contact, it ensures the safety of your surroundings—making it an essential accessory for the professional chef.

Material (Natural Wood): The sheath is crafted from luxurious "Ho" (Japanese Magnolia) wood, which has been prized since ancient times as the premium material for sword scabbards. Ho-wood features a dense grain and moderate hygroscopic properties, helping to protect your precious knife from rust caused by humidity. Furthermore, its gentle softness ensures it will not scratch the blade, cradling beautiful mirror finishes or Damascus patterns with care during insertion and removal.

Craftsmanship & Design: This is an authentic accessory designed by "Sakai Takayuki," a brand boasting 600 years of history in the knife-making mecca of Sakai. Each sheath is precisely carved by craftsmen to provide a perfect fit for the long profile of a 270mm Sujihiki. When secured with the included plastic pin, there is no risk of the knife sliding out during transit, while the clean, natural aesthetic of the white wood enhances the professional dignity of your equipment.

"To own a superior knife is to take responsibility for its care." Maintain your sharp, long blade in peak condition until the next moment of creation. For a knife forged by a master, a Ho-wood sheath imbued with that same craftsmanship is the only fitting home for your lifelong companion.
