Saya: The Traditional Knife Sheath for Protecting Your Blades
Your knife may be in perfect condition when you buy it, but it won’t stay sharp for long if you’re not careful how you store it. If you’re used to just tossing it in the drawer, that’s a big mistake. They will get dull pretty fast because they will knock against other utensils or surfaces, so the blades will chip or wear down way quicker.
If you want them to last, get a resilient Saya sheath, which is a wooden cover for a knife. It’s like a little protective sheath, mostly used for Japanese knives. It keeps the blade safe from bumps and scratches when it’s not being used. And it is honestly one of the best ways to protect them.
