Handmade with Japanese precision, it impresses with its quality and style. It looks elegant, is handy, and fits well in the hand. I love it for its unique character and reliability—perfect for fans of traditional Japanese knives!
Folding knife drawing inspiration from traditional Japanese blades of the late 19th century. The term Higonokami translates to "lord of Higo" in Japanese, a distinguished title historically granted to samurai from Japan's Higo region.
Outfitted with a blade crafted from laminated SK steel, renowned for its strength, resistance to breaking, chipping, and wear, while also being relatively straightforward to sharpen. Functions as a friction folder – a lock-free design, where the user's grip maintains the blade's position during heavier use.
Features a minimalist handle formed from a single steel piece, enabling safe storage and transport of the blade. A designated hole in the handle accommodates the attachment of a lanyard or keyring for increased security.

A specific little knife, but that's how it should be. This is already my third one. I recommend it.

A classic with soul that you must have. It’s not perfect, but it has that certain something.

Nice, functional small folder. Quite sharp from the factory. With a bit of practice, you can operate it with one hand. The brand has an interesting history, I encourage you to visit the manufacturer's website.

The knife is worth its price: simple and sharp. You can clearly see the lines on the blade. In my opinion, simplicity is an advantage here. The ergonomics may not suit everyone, but for this price I think it's worth it.
