Sayaka Japanese Tatami-Edge Knife Sheath (Saya) – Handmade in Japan Up to 270mm Blade

A Beautiful Saya for a Knife Worth Protecting

A beautiful Japanese knife deserves more than an ordinary knife cover.

The Sayaka Knife Sheath (Saya) is handcrafted in Japan using traditional tatami-edge fabric—the decorative textile traditionally used to finish the edges of Japanese tatami mats. Its distinctive patterns bring together Japanese tradition, craftsmanship, and everyday functionality.

Inside the fabric exterior is a protective plastic saya, providing an added layer of protection for your knife blade during storage and transport.

Lightweight and beautifully made, Sayaka is more than a practical knife cover. It is a thoughtful way to protect and carry a knife you value while adding a distinctive touch of Japanese craftsmanship to your kitchen.

Traditional Japanese Craftsmanship

Each Sayaka Saya is handmade in Japan using carefully selected tatami-edge fabric. Because of the nature of the fabric and the handmade process, each piece has its own unique character.

The beautiful Japanese-inspired patterns make Sayaka a special accessory for your favorite knife—something you will enjoy seeing as much as using.

Designed for Larger Japanese Knives

The Large Sayaka Saya fits knives with blades up to 270 mm (10.6"), making it suitable for many larger Japanese kitchen knives, including gyuto and other chef's knives.

Whether you store your knife in a kitchen drawer, take it to a cooking class, or transport it between home and work, Sayaka helps keep your blade protected while making your knife easier and more beautiful to carry.
