Description
The Kanekoma Higonokami pairs an SK carbon steel blade with a black iron handle that develops a unique patina the more you use it. The slightly wider blade profile handles heavier cutting jobs better than the standard Higonokami. A raw, unfinished look that collectors and everyday users are equally keen on.
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 solid authority.
This isn't a knife you preserve; it's 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 go-to blade material—tough, easy to sharpen on any stone, and capable of a keen edge that handles rough cutting without chipping.
Looking After Your Blade
Keep your blade in top nick. Give it a rinse and dry after each use to stop corrosion. Every now and then, rub a thin coat of mineral oil along the blade. Sharpen with a whetstone or honing rod at a steady angle. Store it in a sheath, knife roll, or on a magnetic strip — never chucked loose in a drawer. For carbon and Damascus steel, give it a wipe after cutting acidic foods. For folding knives, clean out the pivot and pop a drop of lubricant in to keep it opening smoothly.
