Product detail
Traditional wooden sheaths are called saya in Japan. Their manual production is demanding and therefore saya is almost always a scarce commodity. Only a few masters are involved in their production. They use suitable wood species such as paulownia, magnolia or bamboo. They are delivered in a natural design or with the use of natural varnishes. Saya is suitable not only for storing the knife, but especially for moving it from place to place.
In our offer you will find knife sheaths from KASUMI, MCUSTA ZANMAI. It is quite possible that some sheaths can be used for other knives. Therefore, we recommend that you consult its use before purchasing the sheath.
About producer
Masujiro Kawamura, a descendant of Kanetsugu blacksmiths who specialized in making swords, founded the company Seki Kanetsugu in Seki in 1918. Today, the company is managed by the third generation of the Kawamuras. Our supporters know the Seki area intimately, as it is one of those with the longest history of blacksmithing. It is the seat of many important knife manufacturers. Nippon Knives brings you top products from Seki under the brands KASUMI, ZANMAI, MCUSTA, MASAHIRO and SUNCRAFT.
Adding a new brand to the assortment also brings a certain responsibility. Only a non-professional seller includes in his offer unknown products with which he has no personal experience. Fortunately, this is not the case for us. In the vast majority of cases, we personally check the manufacturer, visit his production several times and use his products. This is the only way we can guarantee the satisfaction of our customers. If it is not possible to use this proven method, our Japanese partners will do it for us.
