The Higo No Kami is about as budget of a hand made knife you can buy. Reportedly these are all hand made by one knife maker in Japan. The Higonokami friction folding blade traces it's roots back to 1896, and it seems to be made in the same traditional way. My review covers the basics of this classic pocket knife. So I hope you can watch it.
You can buy the XL version here: amzn.to/2yDNFI0

Small version: amzn.to/2zGa2Qd

The legend of one very old man making these knives is a myth. There is a pdf called Higonokami Knife by Dr. Rudolf Dick (not kidding) that shows the 3 families and the process of making the knife. This knife is my favorite folder. It's not modern or a workhorse of blade, it just has that imagery of a blade master making knives in the tradition of his great grandfather. Love your channel, you can love knives without getting too serious about it. If you can baton with a folder, you can be pretty sure that it's a well-made knife.

From what I heard it keeps sharpness longer then normal steel but is harder to sharpen. And it's basically a knife from the mid 1800s for work people that need a good reliable knife all the money went into the steel of the blade most of the time the high carbon steel is folded about 3 times and often even combines softer and harder steels. Also most children had them in school for sharpening pencils and karving. Edit: it is the most value for your money you can get. A high end, we'll crafted and sharpened blade for around 15-20$

Just picked a couple of knives made by Aritsugu in Kyoto in the Higo no Kami style. The blades are no joke on these things! Highly suggest the Aritsugu variant if you can find it. They've been making sharp things out of steel since the 16th century. You don't last that long for nothing.

All the boys in Japan who always carried”肥後守” Higonokami in their pockets when they were children are now old men.When you put it in your pocket, you have to secure the blade and handle with a rubber band.The blade was sharpened on granite in the school sink.Children these days are not allowed to carry knives because it is dangerous. Therefore, children in the land of swords cannot learn to use knives safely. It's sad.

I bought one just because it's one of those affordable knife everyone has like the opinel and victorinox. Mine is silver and came in a plastic sleeve, oh well, doesn't matter if it was made by that one guy neighbor or his son. Be careful when cutting with it as it might get caught when you cut forward, and when you pull it back the knife can fold on your fingers, I found out the bloody way. Thanks for the review

Hitachi I believe is the company that makes the steel. Either way "blue steel" or "blue paper steel" refers to the literal paper wrapping the steel comes in. Same with Japanese "white steel" or "white paper steel." This blue steel should be the same as the blue steel Spyderco has used in sprints on some of their Japanese made knives.
@marshalllaw123
@marshalllaw123 6 жыл бұрын
Silent Thunder Ordnance pretty sure that's not correct. Super Blue, which spyderco has used in sprint runs, is a stainless modern super steel. The "blue paper" steel is non-stainless carbon steel.
@silentthunderordnance1655
@silentthunderordnance1655 6 жыл бұрын
Actually Spyderco's "super blue" is not a stainless steel and, by looking at it's composition which you can find on Spyderco's website, you'd have to have a pretty generous definition of "super steel" to include it in that category as well. 1.40-1.50% carbon, 0.30-0.50% chromium, few other alloys at less than .5%. Only thing that really jumps out is 2.00-2.50% tungsten. It looks like a recipe for a really great simple carbon blade steel which is a step up from your basic white steel that has very similar composition minus the chromium and tungsten IIRC. Don't take my word for it though, look it up on Spyderco's website.

,,Batoning" is not important. :) Knife is a cutting tool and really handsome little pal. :) Its functions and possibilities are unlimited and the smart guy will know what to do with him in every situation. :D Preferably in the kitchen, camp or for fishing.

I picked up one of these a number of years ago from lee valley. They sold it as a carving knife. It is not durable enough for an every day pocket knife (atleast mine is not) I love carbon steel knives like my mora but I have come to the conclusion that a dailey beater should be stainles and doulble bevel. I do like the price point and just looking at it sharpens it to a razor. I buy alot of knives for under $100 and for $20 There are almost no knives you can get as sharp. (Accept again mora lol)

I like to give neutral thoughts about something... and let my viewers decide unless I really like it. Those are all great knives... but I also like the Benchmade Crooked River, the K2, and the Endura 4. There's also the 0770... but my main carries are all those knives you mentioned.

+Rush I think they’re way overblown personally... I don’t scrutinize things with a microscope when I buy them. I have many knives where blade centering isn’t perfect- and Benchmade doesn’t seem to be any worse than those

Advanced Knife Bro I know this is late and Cedric has already done a vid on it but have you seen the LAPG TBFK knife in S35vn for 35$?? It seems it would be worth it to pay a bit extra for that than to get a 20$ ganzo(which I still love)

Your picked up in Japan during WWI is only off slightly. There WERE Americans fighting the Japanese around this time helping China against Japan. May have been a few years earlier , memory’s not what it used to be.
