Higonokami - Kanekoma - HIGO-1 - Japan Pocket Knife

Charming knife used by the Japanese farmer.

As is typical for many agricultural implements, this Japanese knife is also extremely simple but the result of a centuries-old improvement that has found the difficult balance between form and function, and between cost and benefit.

The main feature is certainly the quality of the blade, in fact it uses a three-layer San Mai steel, of which the one in the very hard center.

It has a razor wire, as befits a tool created to cut and not just to be displayed in display cases.
