Quality without compromise

Higonokami knife parameters:

The history of these knives dates back to 1896. Higonokami knives were known and carried by Japanese craftsmen and people for everyday use. Over time, in 1910, the Higonokami trademark was registered to distinguish it from imitations.

The blade is made of high-carbon steel, which excels in its sharpness. It is inserted into a brass handle, which creates a compact and lightweight unit. This knife steeped in history is not just a tool, but a cultural artifact connecting the past with the present. Carry a piece of Japanese heritage with you daily, where every cut tells a story of craftsmanship.
