This is a genuine handmade Higonokami knife, made by Mr Nagao, the last remaining blacksmith in the guild that is allowed to make Higonokami. They are a simple, cleverly designed, hardworking tool that has remained virtually unchanged in over 160 years.The Standard Higonokami has a cutting edge just a hair under three inches long, a laminated SK5 carbon steel blade and a blued steel handle. An excellent general purpose pocket knife.Carrying a pocket knife in the UK used to be completely normal. After years of not carrying one it is refreshingly liberating and civilised to be able to fetch a nice bit of laminated Japanese steel out of your pocket when you need to open a box, or packet instead of tearing it. As long as the knife conforms to regulations (this one does) and you use it responsibly, this simple pleasure is perfectly legal.A classic knife with countless uses at a price that won't break your heart if you accidentally take it through airport security and have to surrender it.
