Higonokami “Higo”: The Higonokami short knife was born in the 1890’s out of dwindling demand for samurai swords. It is a folding pocket knife with a friction lock and thumb lever for added protection of accidental closers. It is made with steel from the Yasugi district, which is located in the Shimane prefecture.
