Japanese Folding Knife (Pocket Knife) with 70mm Blade in Blue Paper Steel

This is one of the most popular and traditional "HIGONOKAMI" (肥後守) knives, crafted by Nagao.

HIGONOKAMI knives are known for their simple and sturdy construction, with no spring or lock; the blade remains in place purely through friction. The protruding lever allows the blade to be unfolded with one hand.

The knife features a thick, sturdy double-edged blade with a thickness of 2.8mm (double bevel, suitable for both right- and left-handed users) and a slightly curved shape ending in a sharp tip. It’s excellent for whittling, carving even the finest details, and marking tasks.

The blade is forged and laminated, made from renowned Japanese blue paper steel. The handle is made of brass, embossed with Japanese characters.

The knife is sharpened and ready to use!
