Full description

Everything about the Japanese Higo no Kami pocket knife emanates tradition. In the past everyone in Japan, including school children, used to carry a knife like this. The Higo pocket knife was used to sharpen pencils and for many other tasks.

The blade is easy to open with the 'chikiri' (the lever at the end of the blade). As is common for this type of knife, it doesn't have a lock and the blade completely disappears inside the handle when closed.

Carbon steel

Steel with a high concentration of carbon. It is very shock-resistant and also very tough. Some maintenance is required to keep the blade sharp, though. Fortunately, it's a very easy type of steel to sharpen. However, this steel is not corrosion-resistant.

After watching and reading reviews about this knife from Dutch bushcraft knives I am very impressed. The knife needed a little sharpen when it arrive but otherwise it's a very nice, aesthetic pleasing knife.

This knife is very sharp, with a strong blade. The metal fold is simple and rather roughly finished. The thumb lever is crudely finished with a rough edge - it would easily make a hole in a trouser pocket. Attached to a lanyard and kept in a jacket pocket it is OK, with the advantage that it can be opened wearing gloves. There is no spring or locking mechanism, either for open or closed position, just the friction of the hinge rivet - the blade will punish careless handling.
