Higonokami pocket knife 7,4 cm KT-HIGO07BL, SK-carbon steel, black

A bit basic, but at this price can't really complain. Blade is a bit irregular, but a bit of a sharpen sorted it. And I have to say it does get ridiculously sharp, sharper than a brand new stanley knife blade. Plus I now feel a bit of a Samurai when I use it. My pencils have never been so sharp.

Excellent sharp knife. Lever to open great for me with weak fingers.

I was interested to own a typical Japanese penknife whose style had been around for over a hundred years and had been an EDC for school children. It is a simple design, well made and light in weight (41 grams). A legal carry in UK and comfortable to fit into a jacket or trouser pocket. The blade is sharp from out of the packet and being carbon steel holds the edge. Maintenance is straightforward - wipe with a cloth/handkerchief after each use, a spot of oil now and then and re-sharpen when required. A nice little knife and a lot of tradition. Moorcroft
