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

Kikuichi’s 180mm santoku saya fits the broad, rounded-tip santoku shape, including Kikuichi’s SC18, SM18, NWD180 and WDT18. Kikuichi calls its sayas universal and sizes them generously to fit as many knives as possible.

The knife slides in without the tension of a pinned saya, and the light wood body is easy to carry in a knife bag.


Santoku or Nakiri Saya?

A nakiri’s square tip needs the 180mm nakiri 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.
