Description
The Higo Taka friction folder is an authentic Japanese everyday carry knife forged from Aogami Super steel for extraordinary edge retention. The 7.5cm blade features a traditional chisel grind and hand-hammered finish. The brass handle develops a unique patina over time, making each knife truly one of a kind.
**The Patina of Daily Life**
Slip it from your pocket, press the tang, and let the blade sing open. Aogami Super steel bites into an apple, scores a package, trims a thread — each task adding character to the brass that reflects your journey.
**Ancient Forging Methods**
Aogami Super — Blue Super Steel — is the pinnacle of traditional Japanese carbon steels. Forged at extreme heat and quenched to achieve 65 HRC hardness, this steel was developed for tools that demand the absolute finest cutting edge.
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.
