Sheath Mcusta Zanmai Black lacquered Wooden Saya for Nakiri 165 mm Takeshi Saji's handcrafted Japanese santokuSaya's black lacquered Mcusta sheath is designed to suit Japanese nakiri vegetable knives, which have blade lengths up to 165 mm. The material used for centuries to guard Japanese Katana swords is Magnolia wood, which comes from Honoki trees in Japan and is used in Mcusta's Black Lacquer Sayas. Magnolia wood has been used for sayas since the Heian period due to its softness and resilience to dampness, which prevents it from scratching fine blades.
