SAYA
The 'SAYA' (scabbard) is made from a single piece of wood which has been split, planed and chiseled to fit
the 'TOSHIN' (blade). It is then glued together and shaped to fit to ensure the blade is kept dry & clean.
Please Note: All handles and scabbards are constructed of Honoki unless otherwise stated or requested.
