No locking device, no extras, just one exceptionally sharp blade that folds into a solid brass handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"624\" data-start=\"252\"\u003eForged from Aogami Blue Paper Steel with a small addition of chromium to increase kirenaga, the blade holds its edge for longer while remaining easy to sharpen and maintain. The action is firm at first and loosens with time. At 47g, with a 70mm blade and 109mm folded length, it is compact, balanced and built for everyday use, from opening letters and boxes to whittling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"925\" data-start=\"626\"\u003eThe Higonokami knives are handmade by Kanekoma, fifth generation makers in Miki, Hyogo Prefecture. Founded in 1894, they are now the last workshop in the region permitted to use the name Higonokami, registered in 1910. The brass handle begins bright and gradually develops a rich patina through use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAogami Blue Paper Steel blade for superior edge retention\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid brass handle that develops natural patina\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraditional Japanese Higonokami design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Japan by Niwaki\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect for everyday carry, gardening, or craft work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Niwaki","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43015947386993,"sku":null,"price":129.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9675\/9409\/files\/niwaki-higonokami-folding-knife-from-japan.jpg?v=1771387122","url":"https:\/\/shop.handcraftedmodern.co\/products\/blue-steel-higonokami-folding-knife","provider":"Handcrafted Modern","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
