The Higonokami story began in 1896 in Miki City. These knives have accompanied generations – from carpenters to students. Today, the sole trademark holder is Nagao Kanakoma Factory, but Sekiryu also maintains the tradition of handmade production in the region. The high-carbon steel blade excels in its sharpness and ease of sharpening.
