The Higonokami SK Steel Black represents the essence of traditional Japanese knife-making: simple, functional, and built to last. Featuring a durable SK steel blade and a black-finished stainless steel handle, this model delivers dependable cutting performance while remaining lightweight and pocket-friendly.
Its classic friction-folder design — complete with the distinctive “chikiri” thumb lever and no locking mechanism — has been trusted for generations. Each knife is individually handcrafted by Nagao Seisakusho, founded in 1894 and the only remaining maker legally permitted to use the “Higonokami” name, ensuring authenticity and traditional craftsmanship in every piece.
Compact, robust, and steeped in heritage, the Higonokami SK Steel Black is ideal for everyday use, outdoor tasks, or as an affordable collectible that embodies true Japanese craftsmanship.
