Honesuki - Yellow Poplar

This saya fits many double bevel Japanese Chef / Gyuto knives with either western or partial tang handles. It will accommodate knives with spines up to 3.5mm or 4.5mm at the base. It does no fit western style knives with a full heel (e.g. Henkel, Wustof and Sabatier). For single bevel, odd shaped or oversized knives such as Takeda, please fill out a Custom Saya form.

Saya Sizing 

Will this saya fit my knife?

How do I measure my knife?

Yellow Poplar

Yellow Poplar is a sustainable hardwood tree grown primarily in the US. It is low density and relatively soft so that the blade’s edge is not dulled through storage and carbon knives should not rust if properly dried before storage.

 Pin Hole Options

For best fit, we recommend drilling saya holes with both knife and saya in hand. The pin is used to keep the knife as snug in the saya as possible so if you choose the Pin Hole - Drilled option we will drill the hole where it will accommodate most knives, but will most likely leave room for your knife to move around. Our saya pins fit into a 3/16” hole. Drill bits can be purchased here
