Japanese Magnolia wood (Ho-no-ki), is often used to make saya covers for traditional and Western-style knives. This is because it is soft, moisture-resistant, and contains no strong resins that might cause corrosion in carbon steel. For safety, a pin is used to keep the blade and sheath in place. A layer of non-toxic lacquer coating made from tree saps in Japan is applied to the wood. Made in Japan. *Please note that we recommend drying the knife before placing it into the Saya. This Saya Cover is made only for Yoshihiro Knife. It might NOT fit other brand knives. Especially our Saya Cover does NOT fit our Kurouchi Black Forged knives. Any questions in regards to compatibility, please contact us or call us at (310) 777-0227.
