Kikuichi Magnet Saya for 8.25-inch (210mm) Gyuto Knives

This poplar saya fits a 210mm gyuto, the standard Japanese chef’s knife length, including Kikuichi’s GC21, GM21 and WDT21. Kikuichi sizes its sayas generously so they fit as many knives as possible, so the knife slides in and out without the friction of a tight wooden sheath.

A saya protects the edge in a drawer or in a knife bag on the way to work, and it keeps fingers away from the blade when someone reaches past it.


Kiritsuke-Tip Gyutos

Kikuichi notes that its MDT67 gyutos are not a good fit because of their steep kiritsuke tip. For those, use the 240mm gyuto 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.
