In 1896, the wholesaler Tasaburo Shigematsu agreed with the blacksmith Teji Murakami in Miki City on the production of these traditional tools. The products were so successful with people, including the imperial court, that the Higonokami Knife Union was founded in 1899. Higonokami was known and carried by everyone – Japanese carpenters, craftsmen, and people for everyday use (EDC). Over time, less quality imitations began to appear, which is why the Higonokami trademark was registered in 1910.

In 1911, Emperor Taisho also took a liking to this style, which further increased the prestige of the Higonokami brand. The only manufacturer that can still use the Higonokami trademark today is Nagao Kanakoma Factory, but other Japanese workshops like Sekiryu also maintain the traditional manufacturing style. The blade is made of high-carbon steel, which excels in its durability. The compact, lightweight, and historically rich Higonokami folding pocket knife is not just a work tool – it's a cultural artifact. Carry a piece of Japanese heritage with you daily, ideal as an outdoor companion for small tasks.

Rules for working with the tool
|
Sharpening an outdoor knife
For maintenance, we recommend using diamond and water sharpening stones. If you are not 100% sure of your abilities, contact us. We will sharpen your equipment individually. We also regularly organize sharpening courses. Damage caused by improper maintenance can be irreversible.

Cleaning and maintenance:
Particles adhering to the surface from aggressive substances can oxidize and create stains. This is not a material defect, but a surface reaction. For removal, common methods include baking soda with a little water and an old cork. As it is carbon steel, we recommend lightly oiling the blade after cleaning.|
Notice Each piece is made from natural materials. Steel and brass are original, so your product may not look exactly like the photo. You will receive an equally high-quality and detailed piece, which may differ slightly in patina or texture. |
