About us

BLACKBIRDSAYA is an Australian hand made Saya brand. Our products are made from recycled Australian hardwood with the purpose of limiting the waste of this noble material and give it a second opportunity by creating a product that ensures your knife a long lasting life.

We believe in protecting your tool with functionality and sustainability. 

 

BLACKBIRDSAYA has been developed by Matias and Diego. Matias, with a degree in Architecture, has always been passionate about woodworking and found ways to blend his design skills with this craft. Shortly after moving from Chile to Australia, Matias met Diego, an Italian carpenter passionate about crafting and experimenting with different type of materials. Their friendship quickly flourished, strengthened further by attending a carpentry course together in Australia. Sharing the same house allowed them to convert the garage into their first official workspace. With many friends in the hospitality industry, they soon discovered the world of knives and the wooden sheath, known as the Saya, used to protect the blade.
BLACKBIRDSAYA was born in 2021, when the two decided to make a product that could embrace knives safety, design and sustainability.
