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.

Masahiro 7 in. (180mm) Deba Sheath
This authentic Masahiro Saya is carved from Japanese Ho-wood (Magnolia), a material prized by bladesmiths for its low resin content and ability to resist moisture without imparting oils or odors to the steel. During hands-on testing with the MH16207 model, the tactile feedback of the friction fit is immediate. There is no rattle or lateral movement. The wood grain provides enough natural grip to hold the blade securely, yet releases smoothly when pressure is applied. Unlike plastic guards that can trap humidity against a carbon steel face—leading to rapid oxidation and pitting—the breathable nature of Ho-wood helps regulate the micro-environment around the blade. This is essential for maintaining the refined edge of a Deba used for heavy fish butchery. Handling the saya, you will notice the light, almost airy weight of the Magnolia wood, which adds negligible bulk to your knife roll while providing a rigid physical barrier against impact.
