■Benefits of Paulownia Wood
Burnt paulownia wood is used for the sheath material.
Paulownia has long been used in Japan to store and protect swords and other valuable tools.
Widely recognized as an ideal material for blade storage, it is highly suitable for use in knife sheaths.

・Gentle on the Blade
Paulownia wood offers natural flexibility and resilience, providing a soft contact surface that helps prevent damage to the blade.

・Moisture Control
With its naturally porous structure, paulownia helps regulate humidity, reducing the risk of rust and maintaining a stable storage environment.

・Lightweight
Exceptionally light among woods, making it easy to carry—ideal for outdoor use or home gatherings.

・Burnt Finish
The burnt treatment enhances the wood’s rich character, giving it a refined, understated look.
It also helps conceal discoloration, fingerprints, and oil stains.
Carbonization further improves resistance to insects, moisture, and water.

■Care & Instructions
・Avoid using a damp cloth. Always wipe with a dry cloth.
・When storing or transporting the knife, hold it by the wooden handle to ensure safe use.
