  • Have you ever wonder how Higonokami is made? Here is a glimpse.
    Currently, all Higonokami are handmade by artisan craftsman Mr. Mitsuo Nagao, the fifth generation of Higonokami maker.
    Higonokami is patented. Although there are plenty of people trying to copy the design, Mr. Nagao is the only person on earth that is allowed to make the original Higonokami knife.

    I have two, an 65mm Aogami steel and another 70mm Shirogami blade. Love ‘em both.

    I'm getting used to my Nagao Higonokami 3" and it's great to use as a utility / pocket knife. It has a nice gradual curve that keeps a very sharp edge. Highly recommend.

    Imagine the familiarity you’d need with your tooling and machines to eyeball perfection every time😮 I edc a blue steel and I’ve dropped it, beat on it more than any knife should, neglected sharpening and just strop it. I had to re-profile my broken tip but that’s my fault. Amazing knifes and while not made as a weapon I feel a lot safer with this on me than a lot of other defence gadgets

    I just bought one and I can't wait until I have it in my possession! The story behind the knife and that it's hand made by the one and only is just amazing! :D

    These things are worth atleast 4x more than they charge for them. They are so cheap. I bought a medium sized one with Aogami 2 and brass handle for 55 AUD. It’s just so cheap

      If you sharpen it like a scandi it’s probably alright. I prefer my knives without a microbevel anyway

    I own one myself, and have often wondered why the writing was setup to be viewed by a left handed user?As I am left handed myself, I always got a kick out of it, and also wondered what does the writing say?

      The brand name on the handle and the steel name on the blade (eg. White paper steel)
      Fun fact: the direct translation of higonokami from japanese to english is "fertilizer guardian"

      “Higo no Kami” in Japanese means “Lord of Higo”. Higo is the old name of the Kyushu province, where the original knife came from, but “Higo no Kami” is also an aristocratic title historically given to powerful samurai. Don’t trust google translate.

      The 4 characters on the top say trademark. The rest says higonokami sadakoma. I believe that’s just the company name
