Why Magnolia

Magnolia (Ho wood) is the traditional material for Japanese knife sheaths - the same wood used in samurai sword scabbards. It is breathable, which prevents moisture from being trapped against the blade and causing corrosion. It is also soft enough not to damage the edge on insertion or removal. A saya is not just storage - it is the correct way to care for a quality Japanese knife.

Care and Maintenance

• Ensure the blade is dry before sheathing
• Allow the saya to air dry if it becomes damp
• Do not store a wet knife in the saya for extended periods
• Replace the pin if it becomes loose or damaged
