Higonokami is a Japanese traditional knife which is a registered trademark and only manufactured in Nagao Kanekoma factory in Miki city,Hyogo prefecture,Japan.Miki city has a long history of making knives and carpentry tools.

The reason why it's called 肥後守 Higonokami is that they had a lot of customers who bought that knife in Kumamoto prefecture which is located in 肥後 Higo area.And 守 kami,that letter means,charm,defense,guard,director,work etc.

After they started crafting Higonokami,most of kids had them for shaving pencils,bamboo and such.In 2017,Higonokami knives are still manufactured in Nagao Kanekoma factory for many collectors and wood crafting.And the main blacksmith is Mitsuo Nagao who is the 5th generation craftsman.

Rules of Knife Safety
1. Always ensure that no one is with arms reach of you when you are using your knife.
2. Always cut away from yourself.
3. When performing finer work, try to get a thumb on the spine (back) of the blade.
4. Do not touch or move the knife toward anything you’re not willing to cut.
5. Keep the blade closed or sheathed until ready to cut.

* Small marks and scratches are normal with all Higonokami.
* Non stainless steel chef, kitchen & folding knives require a small amount of care to prevent surface rust. Even though this can easily be removed if it does occur, we recommend you hand wash and thoroughly dry after each use, do not use a dishwasher. For extended storage, coat in some oil.

Damascus is a laminated steel knife made of several layers of different steel materials. The center of the blade is made of hard steel for sharpness, and both sides are covered with multiple soft steel materials. The multiple steels are metallurgically joined, not by plating or glue. The more the blade is forged, the more complex the ripples become, and the more beautiful the unique grain pattern becomes.

Product Features

Handmade Forging

With the traditional forging process, the molecules of the iron material are finely tuned, leading to the completion of a "living kitchen knife" that breathes.

Durability

The process of heating and forging each material for mold making is repeated three or four times to quickly shape the blade and create durability before the carbon is released from the steel causing it to lose its original strength.

Sharpness

The blade is the most important factor in achieving the best possible sharpness. It is polished in our own blade factory to produce uncompromising sharpness.

Handle

The highest priority is placed on sturdiness, a sense of luxury, and a shape that is easy to grip and does not cause fatigue even after long hours of use.
