As our saya are handmade, they are tested and modified to fit knives sold with them, ensuring a better experience. Saya sold separately from their matching knives carry the risk of not fitting, even if it is for a knife originally from us. This is due to variance in blade length and thickness across models. Saya sold without their appropriate knife in the same order will be canceled.
If you order saya for Sakai Ichimonji Mitsuhide knives you have previously bought, contact us immediately after the order to let us know which knife it is. If we have that knife, we will test the saya to one in-store. Due to variance in handmade knives, a perfect fit is not guaranteed. You will have to adjust the saya yourself if it does not fit. We accept no responsibility, exchanges, or returns on saya if they do not fit correctly. Placing a saya order implies accepting these conditions.

A knife store that has supported the history of knives and food culture in Japan.
It has been 600 years since the birth of swordmaking in the Sakai region of Japan. Sakai Ichimonji Mitsuhide's and it's craftsmen continue to build on that legacy by producing the finest blades in Japan.
This is where the culture of completing a dish of sashimi by "just cutting" and the culture of expressing sharpness as "taste" was born.
For 70 years, we have been connecting the spirit of Sakai's craftsmen with the passion of chefs in Osaka's kitchen equipment shopping district, known as the kitchen of Japan.
We are very happy that our knives can be used by people all over the world.
