Adam Cartwright Nice sheath but could do with a stronger retaining magnet.
A solid walnut saya sized for santoku knives. The blade slides into the wooden body and a magnet in the spine holds it firmly in place, keeping the edge off the timber and your fingers clear of the blade. Fits santoku knives across the Xinzuo and Hezhen B-series and X02 ranges. 220 x 80 x 20mm.
Slide this on when your santoku's done for the day. The wooden saya covers the edge clean from heel to tip, so it doesn't nick the next thing it touches in the drawer and doesn't go dull before you need it again. Ash wood, magnetic hold, no loose pin to lose.
Santoku blades have a flatter curve than a chef knife, and the sheath's internal shape follows it. RS01 fits smaller santoku blades, sitting snug on knives around the 17-18 cm mark without leaving gaps at the heel or over-covering at the tip. The ash wood stays dimensionally stable in a kitchen environment, and the embedded magnets grip the blade spine with enough force to stay shut through daily drawer use.
This sheath is sized to match the blade profile of the following Xinzuo knives. Check the code in your product title (e.g. Chef Knife - Lan Series (B37)) against this list.

WALNUT SANTOKU SAYA
This is a walnut blade cover built for one job: protecting your santoku when it is not in your hand. The blade seats inside the wooden body and a magnet in the spine grips it, so the edge never rests against the timber and the knife will not slide free in a drawer or a roll. American black walnut, sized at 220 x 80 x 20mm, 111 grams.

FAQs

Wipe with a dry cloth only. Keep it out of the dishwasher and off the wet bench. An occasional coat of food-safe wood oil keeps the walnut sealed.
