Higonokami Tateori Knives - The Art of Folded Steel and Brass

Knife Country USA is proud to showcase the Higonokami Tateori Knives, a line that exemplifies the pinnacle of Japanese craftsmanship. Tateori, meaning ‘hand-folding’, alludes to the meticulous process that imbues each knife with its unique character and outstanding durability.

The Higonokami Tateori series is distinguished by:

• The HIGO10TATEA Tateori Style Folder, a knife that offers a 4.5-inch closed length and a 3-inch satin finish SK5 carbon steel blade. The brass handle is both aesthetically pleasing and ergonomically designed, providing a comfortable grip and a touch of splendor.

• The HIGO10TATEB Tateori Style Folder presents a stonewash and satin finish blade that is not only visually striking but also exceptionally functional. This knife too measures 4.5 inches when closed, with a blade length of 3 inches, and is housed in a solid brass handle.

Each Higonokami Tateori knife is an embodiment of tradition and modern technique. SK5 carbon steel, renowned for its hardness and ability to maintain a sharp edge, is used to forge blades that can handle precision cutting with ease. The brass handles are not just sturdy but also exhibit a classic beauty that deepens with time, developing a rich patina that tells the story of its use.

The extended tang is a defining feature of the Higonokami knives, echoing the tail of a samurai's sword and allowing for easy one-handed opening. The simple yet reliable design of these knives has stood the test of time, proving that true craftsmanship never fades from fashion.

Crafted in Japan, each knife in the Tateori series is more than a tool; it’s a piece of artistry

Perfect for the knife enthusiast who values heritage and quality in their cutting implements. Whether for daily tasks, outdoor adventures, or as a cherished item in a collection, these knives stand out for their elegance and effectiveness.

Knife Country USA invites you to experience the Higonokami Tateori Knives. Each purchase is an investment in a blade that carries the soul of a bygone era into the palm of your hand, ensuring that each slice and cut you make is not just efficient but also a nod to a storied heritage.
