Higonokami SK Steel Folding Knife – Medium

The Higonokami is a type of traditional friction folder, usually carried by workers of all kinds to perform delicate tasks that require sharpness and precision over strength. The scales and the knife blade are pinned together by a rivet, which the blade pivots around, then friction created by the rivet between the scale and blade holds the blade from deploying when it is carried. This ancient form of knife was widely utilised way before the invention of ball bearings, and it is a very easy to own item due to the lack of a locking mechanism, which made it unregulated in many places. Comes in varieties of handle and blade materials, Higonokami are popular small gifts that are characterful and functional.
