Higonokami Folding Knife – Blue Paper Steel 90mm

Better than expected for the price. ALOT BETTER! I have had a smaller one on my keyring for years. Sharp enough to shave leg hairs hahah and its not going to randomly open in my pocket. I will buy more of these. Definitely getting one for my nephew when he is a little older. Im not saying ot will be the only knife I carry but if Im out in town, odds are this cool little knife will be in my pocket. Its not ideal for protection or self defense but It would be a lot better than nothing! Its a great little tool for opening mail or the dozens of amazon boxes I get monthly. I reckon anyone who complains about a 29 dollar knife has warped expectations. I have no complaints about it. If you want to play rambo with a knife, 29 dollars is never gonna get you there. Sharpen your pencils look for Godzilla and stop whining. Hahahahah

Great Googlymoogly! This is some hard steel. Wonderfully forged, it was expeditiously sharpened — on a grinder.None of, that is zero of, the knives I have bought were sharpened the way I would have put edges on them.Honestly I spend way more time keening them up than I do parting out anything I cut outside of the kitchen.This center of presumably Hitachi White is HARD. Takes a stunning edge, and makes me wish for a 100 to 175mm sanmai fixed blade in a western style sheath and scales . . . that I could (would be willing to) afford.I note that this folder, when closed, easily comes into contact with the folded brass handle which was not going to fly. I inserted a 1/2 inch split length of vinyl tube to prevent that. The took a bit of jiggery and fiddling.I LIKE that the blade does not swing out easily. With the rivet pin fit as mine is assembled, there is NO chance it will open in your pocket.There will be some hours yet of polishing the sides remaining.I am working on an acetic acid patina before I get to the stropping.After the stropping I will put a thin coat of a drying oil such as walnut on it since use will easily wear this away and if I cut a apple with it there will be no toxicity.What a fine blade.

Sharp. Fair quality. Good price. Happy customer.

I love this knife. It is very sharp and is visually appealing. it is flat so you can put it in your pocket without knowing it is there. It is pretty lightweight and gets the job done.

This is a 'daily driver' that goes into my pocket for all sorts of tasks. It is a smaller sized knife that is easy to open and has a great hand feel. It is a no nonsense build that relies on friction to keep the blade closed. It is a great little knife.

I’ve had mine for weeks now & put it through its paces. I like the knife & its concept. Very few pieces and easy to carry. It is priced at its high end and I would not recommend the knife unless you buy it all-in with shipping at its $35 dollars or less. Any cost higher? Get a different model pocket knife. The blade “sharpness” claims are bogus. It will hone well but will not stay sharp & acute for long. My blade edge rests against the frame as it’s built to do but this ruins the edge. And….ITS HARD TO GET IT HONED WELL. The steel does not appear anything high-end and should not be given any special consideration. My blade also stained from use with commercial fertilizer. The knife stays clean and is easy to care for BUT its history and its abilities are overly and dramatically advertised. I would buy another. It’s definitely well built and built to last. I like that. It’s also easy to use & carry. But, it’s just NOT some end all of pocket knives. I believe the ads for this knife are making claims that are way exaggerated. But, as long as the cost does not rise, it is a decent everyday pocket knife for anyone.

This knife sucksI have 3 diamond and a strap and polishing the steel will not hold a edge. So save your money even though I bought it for the price lol

This knife is really good, sharp and convenient. While this isn't a drawback but buyers should know it rusts easily, traditionally japanese blacksmiths use carbon steel which oxidizes rapidly. Keep it oiled with WD40, Linseed oil, wax, or other oils and it wont rust.
