Kikuichi Magnet Saya for 9.4-inch (240mm) Gyuto Knives

Made for 240mm gyutos, this saya covers the longer chef’s knives in Kikuichi’s range, including the GC24, GM24, WGA24, NWD240, WDT24 and GN240. It is also the saya Kikuichi recommends for the MDT67-210K, whose steep kiritsuke tip will not sit in a 210mm gyuto saya.

Kikuichi describes the loose hold as deliberate, since a generously sized saya can then take knives of slightly different heights and profiles. The light wood adds little weight to a knife roll.


Gyuto or Sujihiki Saya?

A sujihiki is narrower than a gyuto; for a 240mm slicer, choose the 240mm sujihiki 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.
