Blade Guards / Sheaths
Sometimes a knife bag just isn't enough. Storing knives in a knife bag without any additional protection increases the chances of cutting yourself or having a tip come through the fabric. Putting a blade guard or sheath on each knife eliminates this problem. Whether you're a fan of a knife safe that clips over your knife, a leather sheath for your fillet knife, a magnetic edge guard that that opens up, a wooden sheath for your expensive Japanese knife, or a simple edge guard that you slide your knife into, we have you covered.

Kikuichi Magnet Saya for 9.4-inch (240mm) Sujihiki Knives
The 240mm sujihiki saya covers six of the Kikuichi slicers we carry, including the SC24, SM24, WGS24, NWD245, WDT24S and GWS240. A narrow slicer’s long tip bends easily if it knocks around loose, and the saya protects it in storage and transport.Kikuichi’s sayas are generously sized, so wa-handled and Western-handled slicers of this length both fit.

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.

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 GyutosKikuichi notes that its MDT67 gyutos are not a good fit because of their steep kiritsuke tip. For those, use the 240mm gyuto saya. Learn More$65.00 -
