  • Question : Do u know if these are the true hand made ones or the fake ones?
    Answer : Well, my considerable knife experience weighs in that the blade is hand made, and the shaft is too. These things are way worth the pittance they go for on here.
  • Question : What is the handle made of?
    Answer : The handle is made of brass.
  • Question : Is it made of blue steel?
    Answer : It's laminated.
  • Question : Sharpening a higonokami knife! Does anyone know if there is another way to sharpen the higonakami knife other than a whetstone?

  • Question : What do the characters on the handle and blade mean in English?
    Answer : 肥后守(higonokami) brand 定 (fixed)驹 (horse)I’m not sure about the last word meaning here. Translated literally it’s horse. But maybe it means a knife here.

HIGO NO KAMI Pocket Knives & Folding Knives Editorial Review

The Higo No Kami 10 Pocket Knife is a traditional Japanese folding knife with a brass handle and a sharp carbon steel blade that is pinned to it. The knife does not have a lock and is secured by holding the tab tightly. The blade is stout, sharp, and very tight; this keeps the knife from opening unexpectedly but wears in as the steel polishes the brass. The knife has a very simple design and is ideal for light cutting jobs. Additionally, the knife's steel sports a fairly obtuse edge that can be made sharp quickly. Overall, the knife is of high quality, with clean and well-made engraving on both the blade and the handle.

Pros

  • Well crafted carbon steel blade
  • Sharp and surprisingly stout blade
  • Simple design and easy to use
  • High-quality engraving on blade and handle

Cons

  • No back spring, half stop, or lock
  • Handle is cheap brass
  • Tanto cut at the back of the spine is not straight.
