Higonokami Folding Knife - Black - Medium

Since 1894, Japanese bladesmiths have hand-crafted this simple folding pocket knife for everyday use. While there were once 40 members in the guild making genuine Higonokami knives, today there is only one maker - Nagao Kanekoma - left still making these knives, in Miki City, Hyogo Prefecture. Considered to be Japan’s first ironware town.

The blade is made of laminated SK High Carbon Pressed Steel to create a durable, handcrafted blade with long-lasting sharpness. It has a medium blade length of 7.62cm and is approx 9.54cm in length when closed.

Today, these versatile folding knives are useful for many tasks including camping, cooking, crafting, foraging, opening boxes, etc.

They also make a perfectly suited and meaningful gift to a loved one or yourself.
