NHHIGO08BL: Triple Layereed SK Folder Black Stainless Steel Handle

Nagao Higonokami

This medium size Japanese friction folder by Nagao Higonokamia is a simple yet eloquent knife that is more than capable of getting the job done. The handle is made from a folded sheet of stainless steel and has kanjis (Japanese lettering) stamped into the side. The stainless steel handle also hides the 3.75" triple layered SK steel blade perfectly when closed. The simple and effective lever on the blade assists with opening. The handle is equipped with a lanyard hole making this simply designed pocket knife great for an EDC (Every Day Carry).

Great value. Super sharp. Cleans up nice.
I keep this in a bag I use for traveling. It is a superb slicer.It was only$20, so I thought it'd be cheap -- just a novelty old-type folder-- it is not! The blade is essentially Sanmai steel. Pretty clearly hand-forged. The pivot is nice and tight; which is good because it doesn't lock. And it is scary sharp! I just made a few passes on my strop, and buffed the blade a bit, and it's really pretty.

Really good knife and amazing customer service
I bought it for my brother and he loves it! He just uses it as a normal pocket knife It's slightly stiff at first but loosens up easy. It's also very *very* sharp it just needs a bit of a stropping. The bluing on the steel looks awesome. I would recommend taking some steel wool to perhaps the frame and also the back of the blade but other than that it's perfect.I originally ordered the one with brass handles but its so hard to get in stock I decided to change my order to this one and I am not disappointed. And Knife Center was wonderful as always with their customer service.

Wonderful Knife
I am a big fan of this knife? It’s simple and affordable, but made with incredible quality. The handle is solid and the opening is smooth (use oil as needed). I love the little ‘handle’ to open the blade, it’s nice that you don’t have to touch the blade in order to open the knife. The blade itself is very good- I’m able to get it razor sharp. The way it’s ground also looks beautiful, I love that layered steel style. All in all, for $17, I don’t really have much to complain about.
