Description
Nagao’s premium Higonokami wraps a VG-10 stainless core in layers of Damascus-pattern cladding, producing a blade that is both functional and strikingly beautiful. The polished brass handle complements the Damascus waves, making this a collector’s piece that performs as well as it displays. Limited production from Miki City.
Art in Your Pocket
Unfold the blade and watch light ripple across sixteen layers of Damascus steel—a fluid pattern unique to this knife alone. The VG-10 core slices through fruit with clinical precision, then folds away into polished brass that gleams like an heirloom.
This is the Higonokami you carry when details matter.
Damascus Meets Tradition
Nagao applies the ancient art of pattern-welded steel to the Higonokami’s minimalist form, forge-welding alternating layers around a VG-10 cutting core for stain resistance and edge retention.
Each brass handle is hand-polished to a warm lustre, its weight precisely tuned to balance the Damascus blade at the pivot.
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.
