About the Brand: Higonokami is a Japanese pocketknife known for its simplicity and durability. Unlike traditional pocketknives with delicate locking mechanisms, users must hold firmly on the extended spine to keep the blade fixed in place. The history of Higonokami dates back to the late 19th century, originating from its main trading market in Kumamoto Prefecture, formerly known as "Higonokui". Originally used for a variety of household and outdoor tasks, it also became a staple for Japanese students who used it to sharpen pencils before sharpeners became popular.

Nagaokoma Seisakusho, the maker of Higonokami, was established in the 27th year of the Meiji era (1894) and has a history spanning over a century. It remains the sole trademark owner of the Higonokami name to this day.

Blade Steel: SK Steel Handle Material: Stainless Steel SK Steel is known for its good hardness and affordability. The pocketknife has a folded length of 100mm, a full length of 180mm, and a blade thickness ranging from 2.2mm to 2.8mm. Crafted by Nagao Seisakusho in Japan, the Higonokami pocketknife is a reliable tool with a rich history and lasting appeal.
