Everything about the Japanese **Higonokami pocket knife** radiates tradition. In Japan everyone, including school children, used to carry a knife like this. The Higo pocket knife was used to sharpen pencils and for many other tasks.

 The blade is easy to open with the 'chikiri' (the lever at the end of the blade). As is common for this type of knife it doesn't have a lock and the blade will completely disappear inside the handle when closed.

 ## SK5 steel

 This Japanese type of steel is easy to modify. This type of steel is often used for tools, amongst which knives. Just like many other types of carbon steel it can become razor-sharp. This steel, however, is not corrosion-resistant.

 The Higonokami comes with an artificial leather storage case.

General information

We always measure the blade height at the highest part of the blade.

Blade height

We always measure the blade length ourselves. This is the length of the blade from the tip to the front of the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade length

value_blade_length_edge

The length of the cutting edge is measured from the tip to the start of the edge. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Cutting edge length

We always measure the blade thickness at the thickest part of the blade. Often just before the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade thickness

value_closed_length

We always weigh a product as bare as possible. Knives and axes always without their sheath, lights (if possible) without their battery. For knife sets we measure the entire weight. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specifications.

value_steel_hardness

The hardness in Rockwell C for a knife is always according to the manufacturer's specifications. When a manufacturer specifies a value of 56-58HRC, for instance, we always note the highest value, i.e. 58HRC.

We measure the sharpening angle ourselves. This value is the angle per side.  So 20º means that the total angle of the edge is 40º. Please note that knives are almost always sharpened by hand, even in factories. This value is therefore only an indication of a single tool measured by us. You are always free to choose your own sharpening angle. [Learn more about sharpening angles](/en/ct/sharpening-angles-explained.htm).

In terms of grind we are talking about how the complete blade thickness extends into the edge. Want to learn more about grinds? [Read all about grinds on knives](/en/ct/knife-grinds.htm).
