Minonokuni 180mm Left-Handed Deba Saya | Ho Wood Magnolia Knife Sheath

The Minonokuni 180mm Left-Handed Deba Saya is a precision-crafted wooden sheath designed specifically for the heavy, single-bevel geometry of a traditional Japanese fish butchery knife. Because left-handed Debas feature an inverted Urasuki (concave back) and Kiriha (blade road), a standard saya will not fit. This Minonokuni sheath is engineered with the correct internal orientation to safely house your left-handed blade without damaging the edge or the finish.

Key Performance Features:

• Premium Ho Wood (Japanese Magnolia): Traditionally chosen by bladesmiths for its "breathable" properties. Ho wood is low in tannins and naturally wicks residual moisture away from the blade, providing the ultimate defense against rust and pitting on high-carbon steel.


• Tailored Left-Handed Geometry: Carved specifically to accommodate the spine thickness and bevel orientation of a 180mm (approx. 7") left-handed Deba. The interior channel ensures the razor-sharp edge never makes contact with the wood.


• Superior Edge Protection: The soft, fine-grained Magnolia wood provides a rigid barrier against micro-chipping, ensuring your Deba remains "butchery-ready" for breaking down whole fish and poultry.
