The Scabbard — A Vessel for the Story of a Single Blade
Even the resting place of a fine knife must embody dignity and refinement.
Standard scabbards are handcrafted from magnolia wood, combining strength with the quiet beauty of simplicity.
Premium scabbards are adorned with traditional Japanese lacquer and delicate maki-e painting, becoming true works of art in their own right.
At the highest level, scabbards are created through the collaboration of a master blacksmith, a sharpener, and a lacquer artisan—masterpieces that stand on par with cultural treasures.
Within MIKURIYA, each series carries its own distinct expression through the scabbard it is paired with:
Blue #2 Steel Series:
Standard magnolia scabbard, with the option of an ebony upgrade.
Blue #1 Steel Series:
Standard ebony scabbard, with the option of an exquisite Wajima lacquer scabbard.
Blue Super Steel Series:
Standard Wajima lacquer scabbard, with the option of a one-of-a-kind piece handcrafted by a master lacquer artist.
The scabbard is not merely a protective cover.
It is a vessel that holds the story of a single, irreplaceable blade—
and in each series, it reveals a unique dimension of beauty and prestige, elevating the pride of its bearer.
