Important Information About Purchasing WoodenĀ Saya:
As you probably know, the dimensions of knives made by different manufacturers can vary: Although a Hattori Gyuto 210mm and a Misono Gyuto 210mm are the same blade type and have the same nominal blade length, the dimensions of their blade widths and their spine thicknesses will be different. Because of these slight differences, it is possible the woodenĀ SayaĀ will not fit your knife well (Especially if it is a traditional hammer forged knife, as the blade and spine are often thicker near the bolster).
WoodenĀ SayaĀ are thoroughly hand crafted, so eachĀ SayaĀ will vary slightly in size, thickness and interior space.Ā SayaĀ are usually custom made to fit each individual knife blade, therefore aĀ SayaĀ you purchased previously might not fit a knife that you buy later.
In order to avoid these problems, we strongly recommend customers buy a SayaĀ at the same time as their knife, then we can carry out the necessary pre-fitting and adjustments for you.
