Banshu Hamono Higonokami Folding Knife - Brass

Known as the world’s simplest yet highly versatile folding knife, the Higonokami Folding Knife has kept its traditional shape since the Meiji era (1868-1912). The blade is made of one of the hardest metals called Aogami (blue steel) and is hand forged using a process called Warikomi, which creates a "sandwich" blade structure enclosing the hard blue steel with soft iron.  It's a minimalist beauty that will serve you well as your new, lifelong companion.   Double-edged V-shaped. You can use either side, regardless of dominant hand. Blue steel blade. Authentic Higonokami handmade by master craftsmen. Also available with a black oxide handle. Made in Japan *Brass will oxidize and develop a stunning patina.
