All You Need to Know About These Traditional Japanese Knives

Proudly manufactured in their place of origin to retain culture and authenticity, Higonokami knives are designed and crafted in Miki-city, Hyogo, Japan. Rich in historical aspects, they were first crafted in 1894 and came about as a result of the declining demand for swords. The knives are not only built to offer superior durability but also have a very traditional look that will add timeless flair to your knife collection, with engravings on the handles.  Some of the popular knives in the collection are fashioned with premium carbon steel and are heat-treated to offer excellent performance. Also known as Higo knives, these pocket-style knives are designed without a locking system, but still, fold and open. The handle of these knives is distinguished by their single, folded-over metal sheet construction, stamped with the name of the maker and the metal of the blade. Another distinguishing factor of these knives is their flat-grind blades without secondary bevels.
