Although the knife sheath is not unique to Japan, few knife covers perform as well as the Japanese style saya. The design of the saya has not changed much in hundreds of years; saya covers for kitchen knives fit the knife snugly to protect the blade when storing or traveling. Ho-no-ki, or Magnolia wood, is often used to make saya covers for traditional and Western-style knives.
