Kikuichi Magnet Saya for 4.7-inch (120mm) Petty Knives

The smallest Kikuichi saya fits a 120mm petty, such as the GC Series AC12 and the GM12, and Kikuichi labels this size a petty saya. A small knife loose in a drawer is easily chipped by heavier tools, and the saya keeps the fine edge covered.

The petty slips in and out easily, and the compact saya fits a knife roll pocket.


A Size Up

For a 150mm petty, choose the 150mm petty saya.

    Kikuichi notes that the MDT67 series gyuto, with its steep kiritsuke tip, is not a good fit for the gyuto saya of its own length, and that the larger 240mm gyuto saya works for the MDT67-210K.


    Care

    Store only a clean, dry knife in the saya. Wipe the saya with a damp cloth if needed and let it dry fully; do not soak it or put it in a dishwasher. An occasional light coat of Kikuichi Tsubaki Camellia Knife Oil helps the wood resist food stains.
