Higonokami Kane Tsune with bell, 40 mm blade length, gold brass handle

The Higonokami is a traditional Japanese knife. It is a folding model characterized by a katana-shaped blade (Japanese sword). The blade fits into the handle, which is made of a folded metal sheet similar to that of a razor. The blade can be unlocked by simple friction or by pressing on a lens, which will keep it straight. On the handle, you will often find the craftsman's name or the quality of the steel used. This knife was used by schoolchildren as a pencil sharpener or for carving. Today, it can be used for many everyday tasks.
Folding blade knives are cutlery pieces that stand out for their shape. Small in size, often in pocket format, these weapons have a blade that folds and fits into the handle. The characteristics of these knives allow for optimal transport and ensure user safety.
