My go-to for troop outingsNot gonna lie, this little Higonokami No 4 is the one I tell all the new scout leaders to grab. The SK5 blade holds an edge through a weekend of whittling and rope cutting, and that chikiri tang locks it open solid—just keep it oiled so the carbon steel doesn't spot.

Great knifeSK5 steel takes and holds a super keen edge. The rivet is tight and the one piece handle is plenty strong. This is a good EDC knife as long as you remember how it works. No back spring to hold it open or closed so be careful.
Blade bevel makes it easy to sharpen and strop. Blade shape and sharp point are good for many purposes.
Be careful of the blade security. It is a friction folder. If you are not familiar with the type, make a small formfitting pouch to carry it in your pocket.

Perfect size for my pocketI bought this after watching a bunch of youtube videos on these knives and its exactly what I hoped for. Super simple design, no frills, just a solid little blade that cuts great.
Simple and reliable design, Great price for a quality knife
Carbon steel requires maintenance but for 12 bucks its worth it.

Beautiful knife, crazy sharpDude!!! For 12 bucks this thing is unreal. I collect budget knives and this might be the best value ive ever gotten. The SK5 steel takes an edge like nobodys business and the action on the tang is smooth right out of the box. Its got that old school japanese craftsmanship feel that you just dont get from gas station folders lol. Only thing is you gotta remember to keep it dry and oiled since its carbon steel but thats part of the charm imo.
Incredibly sharp right out of the box
No locking mechanism so you gotta be mindful when using it

Japanese folding knife, sharp and well-madeThis Higonokami knife is exactly what I was looking for in my collection. The blade is incredibly sharp right out of the box and holds its edge really well. The black stainless steel handle looks sleek and professional, and the size is perfect for carrying in your pocket without being too bulky.
Authentic Japanese craftsmanship
