Description

The first Higonokami knives were made as early as 1896 in the Japanese town of Miki. After the last samurai were forbidden to carry swords in public, many blacksmiths started to make knives. Higo no Kami was then an honorary title for especially powerful samurai, and it quickly became the name for the knives produced there.

Since the production in the Japanese town of Miki the classic Higonokami style has hardly changed.

The Higo Kinzoku Damascus is a lovely tribute to the knifemaker's art. This version is made in China. The handle is crafted from one piece of folded metal, the knife is opened by a lever (Chikiri) on the back of the blade. By pressing the lever while holding the knife, the blade is kept open.

    HIGONOKAMI KINZOKU DAMASCUS

    The knife is a good design with a very sharp blade, but the handle is lightweight and rather flimsy

    Higonokami kinzoku damascus

    Posted by Keefy 243 on 5th Dec 2021

    I knocked off 1 star 'cos mine came with a slightly curved blade which is something you often get with handmade items but it isn't enough to prevent correct usage. This knife is the total opposite of modern factory made folders, many of which leave me cold. This one is tactile & great to handle & use. It's simplicity is what makes it so good. A knife like this is not for jabbing or thrusting, it's for cutting, carving & shaving - a must for collectors!

    Charming, tactile item. Lovely looking blade which came with a fine and very sharp edge. A delight to carry.
