These Nomadife knife cases are by Japanese manufacturer Babacho. The company has been making knives since 1890, but these decidedly modern offerings are meant specifically for "nomadic cooking;" i.e. for people who want to bring their own blades to campsites, barbecues and cooking schools.
The cases are terribly sexy. A block of Paulownia wood has been notched and slit to accommodate a kitchen knife, which is held in place by unseen magnets. A sleek aluminum cover slides open along grooves machined into the wood. There are two sizes: S will accommodate blades up to 155mm in length, whereas M can handle up to 210mm blades. Any larger than that and you may as well buy a scabbard.
It comes in two colors, silver and charcoal. Pricing is as follows:
Silver size S: ¥13,200 (USD $88)
Silver size M : ¥15,400 (USD $103).
Charcoal size S: ¥15,400 (USD $103).
Charcoal size M: ¥17,600 (USD $117)
