HIGO NO KAMI7 Pocket Knife by Nagao Seisakusho, Parkerized Black Satin Finish

The Japanese written on the knife is the trademark, maybe real, maybe not. This is just a great, traditional, novelty knife. It's very usable. It is a two-hand opener unless you have smaller, nimble, strong hands :) Mine came razor sharp! I put this on my "Unique" knife shelf :)

Very minimalist every day carry. Small, thin, and sharp (really sharp). Slow to open/close which is fine. Easy to clean and sharpen. The one thing that I did was to sand the (too) sharp edges of the handle which can dig in your palm or fingers during operations. 3 minutes with a 2000 grit sandpaper did the trick.

A special and cool knife that feels like a piece of history. Comes with a sharp edge and the blade feels like high quality metals. Keep in mind that this is not the most ergonomic or comfortable knife to hold, and you can’t open it with one hand as the hinge is pretty stiff (although it’s what keeps the knife from closing, so pros and cons). Great for box cutting and maybe a little wood working, does not lock.

I love this thing. As others have mentioned here, it's handmade and so there will be noticeable imperfections with each one, but that just gives it more character imo. The blade is quite offcentered on mine - so much so that it almost makes contact with the interior of the handle when it's closed. And you'll need to sharpen it when it arrives (which is generally the case with traditional Japanese knives), but once you do it gets REALLY sharp. I own quite a few knives and I can honestly say none of them get any sharper than this little slicer. I have no problem with the lack of a locking mechanism as my thumb naturally lands on the tang and keeps it open when I'm using it. Be sure to keep it clean and oil it regularly (I use mineral oil to keep the blade food-safe) as carbon steel is quite prone to rust, but with a little maintenance yours should last a lifetime. I'm so smitten with this knife that I've subsequently ordered the fancier brass-handled version with a blue paper steel (Aogami) blade, and I'm already shopping around for the high end white paper steel (Shirogami) version. These things are addictive!

Super cool little knife. Absolutely simple and sharp. Always in my pocket

It is a fun knife!Pros: Small, sharp out the box, no fuss, just knifeCons: Tip broke off after 1 week of use, no longer sharp after only using it on boxes and plastic zip tiesBiggest pro: Style- Thing looks goodBiggest Con: It takes two hands to open a really small knife.

Bought this to feel safer. And for emergencies. Like the size. Great quality for the price.
