Description
This chrome-handled Higonokami from Motosuke Nagao features a Shirogami White Paper Steel blade prized by traditionalists for its ease of sharpening and exceptionally fine edge. The chrome-plated handle resists tarnish while keeping the iconic flat-bar silhouette. A faithful pocket companion for those who value simplicity and heritage.
Simplicity as Philosophy
No lock, no clip, no fuss—just steel, leverage, and intention. Open the blade with your thumb, make your cut, fold it away. The Higonokami asks nothing but respect for the basics.
In a world of tactical complexity, this knife is a quiet statement of self-assurance.
White Steel Purity
Shirogami White Paper Steel contains no alloying elements beyond carbon and iron, yielding the purest edge geometry in Japanese metallurgy. It sharpens to a mirror finish on a simple whetstone in minutes.
The chrome plating protects the handle from the moisture of daily carry while preserving the knife's century-old profile.
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.
