The Higonokami is a traditional Japanese knife that packs a lot of utility. The carbon steel is easy to sharpen on the stones and it can be used for whittling, opening boxes, letters and more. These fixed blades come with custom patterned sheaths and cord-wrapped handle that brighten the whole usage. These are great gifts for anyone in need of fixed knives that age beautifully.
