This is the original Japanese folding knife, forged by the same family business in Miki, Japan, since 1899.
The knife is made with Aogami #2 steel (Blue Paper Steel), forged with the warikomi method, where a hard steel is placed between two softer layers to give a very sharp core that is easy to sharpen, while the construction stands up to daily use. Smiths have used this technique for generations, and you can read more about it in Knifenerd’s Guide to Japanese Knives (the chapter on Moritaka).
Higonokami was once used by both schoolchildren and teachers, for whittling, sharpening pencils, opening parcels or cutting fruit. It has a simple friction-lock design (no spring) and opens with the characteristic 'chikiri' lever.
We were lucky to get hold of a limited number. Our supplier in Japan waited more than 4 years for these, and we do not know when the next delivery will be.
A real working knife with history, personality and fine Japanese craftsmanship.
Nagao Kanekoma has forged the Japanese folding knife higonokami since 1894 and is today the only workshop with the right to use the name.
Everything from Nagao KanekomaA higonokami is a traditional Japanese folding knife with a simple, functional design. It has no locking mechanism, but uses friction and a lever, called the chikiri, to open the blade and hold it in place. It is often carried in a pocket and used for everything from whittling and cooking to opening parcels. For over a hundred years it has been known in Japan as 'the everyday knife': a versatile tool that is easy to sharpen.
Wash by hand in warm water, and dry it straight away.
Never the dishwasher. Use a cutting board of wood or plastic, not glass or stone.

Flott japansk kniv! Kniven kutter utrolig godt og er både lett og enkel å bruke. Den ligger godt i hånden og er lett å ta med seg, noe som gjør den veldig praktisk. Den holder seg skarp selv etter mye bruk, men det kan være litt vanskelig å få bladet helt rent – noen små flekker kan bli igjen etter vask. Alt i alt en lett, skarp og pålitelig kniv som jeg absolutt anbefaler! 🔪✨
Super original kniv, som oser av kvalitet. Gleder meg til å slipe den, men det kan bli lenge til, da den er sylskarp!!
Godt håndverk, fasinerende kniv, kvalitet, liten og handy
Fantastisk liten kniv. Perfekt å ha på tur. Kan slice alt, svært liten og sylskarp. Perfekt tilskudd til å ha med på fjellet. Erstatter fjellkniven med denne kniven. Og har øks i tillegg.
