HIGO NO KAMI 10 Pocket Knife, Brass Finish
The Higo no Kami folding knife has a long history in Japan, dating back to the late 19th century. A blacksmith is said to have added a simple lever to a minimally designed pocket knife to aid in opening and closing the blade, setting it apart from other knives. The knife proved to be successful, leading to the formation of a guild to oversee its manufacture. Only those belonging to the guild were allowed to produce the knife to specification and use the trademarked name "Higo no Kami".
The term "Higo no Kami" means "Lord of Higo" in Japanese, honoring the Lord of the Kyushu area of Japan, where the knife originated. Today, each Higo no Kami knife is still handmade by the last remaining maker in the guild, Nagao Seisakusho.
This trademarked knife, crafted by the last remaining manufacturer, Nagao Seisakusho, features a blade of approximately 3 inches and a handle of approximately 4 inches. The knife is made with warikomi steel and has a brass satin handle. Due to the handmade nature of this product, slight differences in specifications and appearance may occur.
