Katana Saya is the universal knife brand of our times, encompassing the very best of our different cultures and traditions. The Katana was the prized sword of the Samurai with its extra sharp blade fashioned from folded Damascus Steel. The blades of our knives are similarly crafted from Japanese VG-10 Damascus Steel. The Katana was always protected inside a Sheath or Saya. We present the traditional Japanese style knives with traditional Wooden Saya, to match the knife handles.
