About the knife type
A 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.
Care and maintenance
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.
