We sought a fifth-generation Japanese knife maker to forge our hallmark blade - their lineage traces back to the original bladesmiths who engineered a short folding knife with a flattened thumb lever and blade akin to the Japanese sword. The Edo-period design is handmade for us in the Yasugi district with modern steel and polished brass, primed to take on a unique patina. Emblazoned with the stamp of superior quality, the Best Made Brass Higo is built to uphold the tradition for a century more. Comes packaged in a handsome gift box. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNote: as of January 2026 this knife will be discontinued and only available while supplies last.
