Point
A compact micro knife that can be easily carried around as a talisman.
The Higonokami is a knife with a unique Japanese tradition and history, and is a micro knife characterized by its simple yet functional beauty.
When I first started mountaineering, I often enjoyed cooking authentic meals using fresh ingredients in the mountains, so I needed a knife of a decent size.
However, these days I rarely do any serious cooking while hiking.
I often use freeze-dried foods, or if there are mountain huts, I enjoy the food provided there.
This means that the knife you carry around doesn't need to be large.
There are few situations where you would need to use a knife, but I think this size will be sufficient.
This knife is also small enough to be easily carried around as a talisman.
Unlike industrial products, Higonokami are still assembled by hand, one by one, by craftsmen.
Therefore, there will inevitably be slight individual differences due to the manufacturing process.
Some items may have minor scratches as shown in the image above.
Thank you for your understanding.
Also, the folding may become loose with use.
In that case, please make the adjustments yourself.
Place it on an anvil or other sturdy object and adjust the tightness by lightly tapping the "rivet" circled in red in the image above with a hammer or mallet.

Note | *SK steel, used in the blade, is widely used in the manufacture of blades, tools, molds, etc. Due to its hardness and durability, it is also used in cutting tools, molds, and even some gardening and kitchen tools. Furthermore, proper heat treatment can maximize its performance. However, tools and equipment made from SK steel have the disadvantage of being prone to rust, so they must be properly maintained after use and stored with care. *Please note that the color of the image may differ slightly depending on your PC monitor settings. *Our store handles products procured through official channels. |
