Higonokami Nagao Koma Seisakusho Black 86mm All steel

Product description

This traditional Japanese Higonokami folding knife was a common everyday tool in Japan from the Meiji to Shōwa periods. It is produced by the renowned Nagao Koma Seisakusho workshop, which was founded in the 1880s and is still the only official holder of the Higonokami trademark. This origin guarantees the preservation of traditional manufacturing methods and corresponding quality.

The knife has a full-steel construction , i.e. the blade and handle are made of one piece of steel. This offers high strength, stability when sharpening and less tendency to bend when working with the tip. The surface of the handle has a characteristic structure resembling pear varnish , which improves grip and at the same time makes it easier to open the knife even when dirty or when working with gloves. The typical protrusion on the back of the blade is used to open the knife without a safety catch, in accordance with the traditional design.

Thanks to its simple but very functional design, this knife is popular for wood carving, pencil sharpening and general everyday use . Nowadays, it is also often used as a teaching tool for proper knife work and hand sharpening , as the open design allows you to easily observe the development of the blade and its natural adaptation to the user.

It will serve perfectly as a classic pocket knife for camping, working in the garden or picking mushrooms in the forest.
