HIGONOKAMI semplicità giapponese

HIGONOKAMI This knife was created in 1896 in Miki, Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan. The blade has no locks, so it uses friction around the pivot point, provided by the supporting scales, made from a single sheet of brass. The "lock" of the blade is also reinforced by the chikiri, a small lever located at the top of the blade's spine that also facilitates opening the blade. Today, the name Higonokami is registered with the Miki Custom Knife Guild, and it is they who decide who can use this name. In reality, only one manufacturer can boast of this production: Nagao Kanekoma.
