Higo Kyoso Folding Knife - Black/Stonewash
Folding knife structurally reminiscent of traditional Japanese Higonokami knives from the early 19th century. The minimalist form has been combined with a modern finish and a functional reverse tanto blade profile, making the model suitable for both everyday EDC use and basic outdoor tasks. The reverse tanto profile blade is made of 7Cr17 steel, while the steel handle is coated with a protective black coating.
Stainless steel 7Cr17
The knife blades are made from 7Cr17 stainless steel. The material used provides a good balance between edge durability, corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening.
Reverse tanto profile blade, stonewash finish
The blade is 75 mm long and 2.7 mm thick, with a reverse tanto profile and features a flat grind extending to half the height of the blade, ensuring good cutting properties and facilitating precise work. The partially black blade is finished with stonewash technology, giving the surface a matte appearance. This finish effectively reduces the visibility of small scratches and signs of wear that appear during everyday knife use.
steel handle, lanyard hole
The handle is made from a single piece of stainless steel coated with a protective black layer. The slim profile allows the model to fit comfortably in a pocket and works well as a lightweight everyday carry knife. A lanyard or safety strap hole is located at the rear of the handle.
Friction Folder mechanism
The model uses a friction folder mechanism, a traditional solution without a classic spring lock. The blade is held in the open position through the mechanical resistance of the mechanism and a Chikiri lever situated on the blade's spine.
