This Higonokami features a blade made from Blue Paper steel, a high quality Japanese carbon steel known for its edge retention and sharpness. Paired with a solid brass handle, it offers a slightly heavier feel and a sense of permanence that develops over time.
Blue Paper steel is prized for its clarity and cutting performance, while the brass handle naturally patinates, making each knife more personal with use. The friction folding design keeps things simple and intentional, staying true to the original Higonokami philosophy.
A small object with weight, both physically and historically. Built to age well.
