## Description

Specification:Brand: HigonokamiBlade: Blue Paper SteelHandle: BrassLength: 90mm (folded)/ 165mm (full)Thickness: ≈3mmAbout the Brand:Higonokami is a Japanese pocketknife, without any delicate locking mechanism.User needs to hold firmly on the extended spine in order to have the blade fixed, simple yet very durable.the history of Higonokami can be date back to late 19th century, where Higonokami got its name from its main trading market, Kumamoto Prefecture, which was named "Higonokui" in ancient time.The pocketknife was widely used in a variety of household and outdoor tasks in its early days.It was as well an essential for every Japanese student, who used it to sharpen the pencil before sharpener has become widely popular.the maker, Nagaokoma seisakusho, was found in the 27th year of Maiji era (1894). It has the history of more than a century and is the only trademark owner of "Higonokami' as of today.

Review: You can see sanmai fusion line — terrific steel in a perfunctory handle - Great Googlymoogly! This is some hard steel. Wonderfully forged, it was expeditiously sharpened — on a grinder. None of, that is zero of, the knives I have bought were sharpened the way I would have put edges on them. Honestly I spend way more time keening them up than I do parting out anything I cut outside of the kitchen. This center of presumably Hitachi White is HARD. Takes a stunning edge, and makes me wish for a 100 to 175mm sanmai fixed blade in a western style sheath and scales . . . that I could (would be willing to) afford. I note that this folder, when closed, easily comes into contact with the folded brass handle which was not going to fly. I inserted a 1/2 inch split length of vinyl tube to prevent that. The took a bit of jiggery and fiddling. I LIKE that the blade does not swing out easily. With the rivet pin fit as mine is assembled, there is NO chance it will open in your pocket. There will be some hours yet of polishing the sides remaining. I am working on an acetic acid patina before I get to the stropping. After the stropping I will put a thin coat of a drying oil such as walnut on it since use will easily wear this away and if I cut a apple with it there will be no toxicity. What a fine blade.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this an authentic Higonokami knife? And does it come with the authenticity card certificate?**
A: Hello
Thank you for your message.  HITACHIYA USA is selling authentic Higonokami knives from Nagao Kanekoma which is a registered trademark of Nagao serves as frame Manufacturing production in the Hyogo Prefecture Miki Cit.
Unfortunately, it does not come with a certificate.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
with best regards
HITACHIYA USA

**Q: What does “blue paper” mean ?**
A: It is carbon steel, blue paper steel has less carbon than super blue (aogami) and more than white paper steel. So its referring to a 'grade' of steel.

**Q: Whats its rating on a sharpness scale?**
A: This knife came sharp enough to cut copy paper out of the box. It was puchased as a novelty gift. I didn't try to test it further or improve the edge. After all, this is an inexpensive knife, and it has other issues that make it less than desirable as an EDC. It is very stiff opening and closing which makes any sharp knife somewhat dangerous to handle. Personally, I carry a Buck folder with one hand assisted opening. The difference in price is negligible, it is made in the USA, has a lifetime warranty, and stays sharp even with frequent use.

**Q: Is it really from japan?**
A: Made by Nagao Seisakusho in Japan.  This is in the description.  I have no reason to think otherwise.  It is a quality steel but keep it oiled.
