Japanese Higonokami Knife Warikomi Black

Handcrafted by Nagao Kanekoma, the only maker of genuine higonokami knives (registered trademark).

The "warikomi" technique involves forging the carbon steel blade between two layers of softer iron.

The core of the blade is therefore very durable, and the outer part can be easily resharpened.

This folding pocket knife features a chrome steel handle and a Japanese SK steel blade, known for its great strength and hardness.

The blade steel is sharp, durable, and easy to sharpen.

Their compact size and ease of use have made these traditional knives famous.
