The Higonokami knife is a special folding pocket knife from Japan. These unique, lightweight Japanese pocket knives were invented by Kanekoma knife factory in the 1890s. Their popularity spread quickly, and during the early 1900s, over 40 companies and 200 blacksmiths were producing them. Today, Kanekoma is the sole trademark holder, and the only company left producing the Higonokami Japanese pocket knife. If you want to be sure you’ve got a 100% authentic Higonokami knife, the only way is to buy a Kanekoma knife.

The Higonokami Ironwood is a unique folding knife that stands out from the traditional higonokami thanks to its distinctive wooden. While it embraces the traditional higonokami aesthetics, the addition of a wooden handle introduces a touch of warmth and elegance to the classic design.

Carved from wild-harvested ironwood, which has an excellent natural durability and hardness, the rich walnut of the handle has an impressive quality. Shaped to emphasize grip comfort, this is a knife you'll be happy to use, and to keep for years to come.

The blade of this folding pocket knife follows the Higonokami tradition, featuring a double-bevel reverse tanto shape. Made from VG10 stainless steel, this blade has exceptional sharpness, durability, and resistance to rust.
