Description
The Kanekoma Higonokami pairs an SK carbon steel blade with a black iron handle that develops a unique patina with use and age. The slightly wider blade profile accommodates heavier cutting tasks than the standard Higonokami. A raw, unfinished aesthetic that appeals to collectors and daily users alike.
Worn Character
Every nick in the iron handle, every shade of the developing patina tells a story—months of whittling, slicing, and quiet utility compressed into metal. The SK blade bites into cardboard and rope with eager authority.
This is not a knife you preserve; it is a knife you live with.
Iron and Carbon
The black iron handle is left deliberately uncoated, inviting oxidation that forms a protective layer and gives each knife a unique fingerprint over time.
SK carbon steel is Japan’s workhorse blade material—tough, easy to sharpen on any stone, and capable of a keen edge that handles rough cutting without chipping.
Knife Care & Maintenance
Keep your blade performing at its best. Rinse and dry after each use to prevent corrosion. Apply a thin coat of mineral oil to the blade periodically. Sharpen with a whetstone or honing rod at a consistent angle. Store in a sheath, knife roll, or magnetic strip — never loose in a drawer. For carbon and Damascus steel, wipe after contact with acidic foods. For folding knives, clean the pivot area and apply a drop of lubricant to ensure smooth deployment.
