Description
Nagao's premium Higonokami wraps a VG-10 stainless core in layers of Damascus-pattern cladding, producing a blade that's both functional and seriously striking. The polished brass handle complements the Damascus waves, making this a collector's piece that performs just as well as it looks. 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 the details count.
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.
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.
