Temple Tool Pocket Knife "Higonokami"
The "Higonokami" is a classic Japanese folding knife without a locking mechanism. The blade is unfolded using the characteristic blade lever ("Chikiri") and held steady by thumb pressure - a simple, proven principle.
The blade is made from Japanese carbon steel, offering excellent edge retention. The solid brass handle develops a distinctive patina with use.
