Description
The Nagao Higonokami is the definitive Japanese friction folder, forged from Aogami Blue Paper Steel that takes a hair-splitting edge and develops a rich patina over time. The one-piece brass handle doubles as a lever for opening and adds natural heft. Made in Miki City by the last remaining licensed Higonokami maker.
The Everyday Ritual
Thumb the lever, feel the blade click into position, and slice through packing tape, an apple, or a length of twine with effortless precision. The brass warms in your pocket throughout the day.
Compact enough to forget you carry it—until you need it.
Last of the Licensed Makers
Nagao Seisakusho is the sole holder of the Higonokami trademark, forging each blade in Miki City, Japan’s historic cutlery capital, using techniques unchanged for over a century.
Aogami Blue Paper Steel is hardened to 62 HRC, delivering an edge that rewards careful stropping with months of reliable keenness.
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.
