Making Higonokami Folding Knife (Factory Quick Tour)

Have you ever wonder how Higonokami is made? Here is a glimpse.
Currently, all Higonokami are handmade by artisan craftsman Mr. Mitsuo Nagao, the fifth generation of Higonokami maker.
Higonokami is patented. Although there are plenty of people trying to copy the design, Mr. Nagao is the only person on earth that is allowed to make the original Higonokami knife.

Now I have to own one.

I'm getting used to my Nagao Higonokami 3" and it's great to use as a utility / pocket knife. It has a nice gradual curve that keeps a very sharp edge. Highly recommend.

I’ve been gifted one these beautifully made little knives for my birthday. Bar far one of my favourite knives I own.

[@lemmyjoker3678]

They’re friggin awesome. Go hug who ever got you that gift

[@hobosnacho]

These things are worth atleast 4x more than they charge for them. They are so cheap. I bought a medium sized one with Aogami 2 and brass handle for 55 AUD. It’s just so cheap

[@edwardrutledge2765]

I have two, an 65mm Aogami steel and another 70mm Shirogami blade. Love ‘em both.

[@ryonaicorp]

Imagine the familiarity you’d need with your tooling and machines to eyeball perfection every time😮 I edc a blue steel and I’ve dropped it, beat on it more than any knife should, neglected sharpening and just strop it. I had to re-profile my broken tip but that’s my fault. Amazing knifes and while not made as a weapon I feel a lot safer with this on me than a lot of other defence gadgets

[@brandonmonroe9867]

Thanks for doing this video. Really awesome.

[@d3generate804]

Amazing! Love higonokami knives!

[@Lfomod1Dubstep]

I just bought one and I can't wait until I have it in my possession! The story behind the knife and that it's hand made by the one and only is just amazing! :D

[@TheStreamingEnderman]

Lovely process! A true artist at work!

[@armadagunshow]

That was awesome, thanks a lot for sharing this

[@lemmyjoker3678]

Thanks so much! I love my knife and hope to order a second next week. Absolutely love it

'quick' is an understatement..

[@miguelolmedo9178]

Just bought two of them and want more. These knives are beautiful simple.

[@SlimTony]

Wait... They have a micro bevel? Have I been sharpening mine wrong?

[@CalebMcFadden]

If you sharpen it like a scandi it’s probably alright. I prefer my knives without a microbevel anyway

[@stoneblue1795]

I own one myself, and have often wondered why the writing was setup to be viewed by a left handed user?As I am left handed myself, I always got a kick out of it, and also wondered what does the writing say?

[@d3generate804]

The brand name on the handle and the steel name on the blade (eg. White paper steel) Fun fact: the direct translation of higonokami from japanese to english is "fertilizer guardian"

[@gregor3374]

@@d3generate804 higo is the name of an old province so it says Higo's guardian

[@SILV3RTUNGD3VIL]

“Higo no Kami” in Japanese means “Lord of Higo”. Higo is the old name of the Kyushu province, where the original knife came from, but “Higo no Kami” is also an aristocratic title historically given to powerful samurai. Don’t trust google translate.

[@Manuelramonart]

How can i know if my Higonokami is real?? I bought a folding knife in Amazon but i'm not sure

[@bhaltazhar105]

[@Null-Red-Blue]

I have a few. The ones without the blade stamp are fakes though.

[@gregor3374]

funfact, this man is the only person who can make higonokami knifes and when he dies the original higonokami knives will go extinct :(

[@AverageThinking]

Fun fact, he has 5 people working for him in that factory. Any one of them could continue making the knives with the exact same quality

[@mgriffin42455]

[@Tardisius]

Can U translate the stamping on the handle?

[@jessemathis4316]

The 4 characters on the top say trademark. The rest says higonokami sadakoma. I believe that’s just the company name
