Kikuichi Magnet Saya for 7.1-inch (180mm) Nakiri Knives

A nakiri’s tall, square-tipped blade needs its own saya, and this 180mm nakiri saya covers Kikuichi’s NWD175 and WDT17 vegetable knives. Shoppers search for it simply as a nakiri saya.

Because Kikuichi sizes its universal sayas generously, a nakiri slightly shorter than 180mm, such as a 170mm blade, still sits securely inside.

    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.
