🔪 Higonokami Zenkou 120 mm – The Iconic Japanese Folding Knife
The Higonokami Zenkou is a traditional Japanese pocket knife handcrafted in Miki, Hyōgo, Japan, by Nagao Kanekoma, the only authorized maker of genuine Higonokami knives. This elegant and functional tool is rooted in over 100 years of blade-making heritage.
