Sayaka Japanese Tatami-Edge Knife Sheath (Saya) – Handmade in Japan Up to 170mm Blade
More Than a Knife Cover
A handcrafted piece of Japanese tradition, made to protect the knife you love.
Protect Your Knife in Japanese Style
A beautiful Japanese knife deserves more than an ordinary knife cover.
The Sayaka Knife Sheath is handcrafted in Japan using traditional Japanese tatami mat edge fabric, a textile traditionally used to finish the edges of tatami mats. Its distinctive patterns bring together Japanese tradition, color, and craftsmanship in a practical piece designed for everyday use.
Inside the beautiful fabric exterior is a protective plastic saya, adding an extra layer of protection for your knife blade during storage or transport.
Lightweight yet durable, the Sayaka Saya helps keep your knife blade protected while allowing you to carry and store your favorite Japanese knife with confidence—and a little more style.
A Touch of Japanese Craftsmanship
Each Sayaka Saya is handmade, making every piece a little different. The carefully selected tatami-edge patterns give your knife a unique character, while the traditional Japanese textile adds a beautiful connection to Japanese culture.
Choose from four distinctive patterns:
- Fish Name – playful and uniquely Japanese
- Kourai – a traditional-inspired geometric pattern
- Seigaiha – the classic Japanese wave pattern, symbolizing peace and good fortune
- Lucky Cat – a charming Japanese motif inspired by the beloved maneki-neko
Whether you are storing your knife in a drawer, taking it to a cooking class, or bringing it with you on a trip, the Sayaka Saya offers a beautiful way to protect a knife you value.
Made for Japanese Knives
Designed for knives with blades up to 170 mm (6.7"), this Saya is especially well suited for smaller Japanese kitchen knives such as petty, utility, and compact multipurpose knives.
