## Overview

The Higo no Kami 7 Pocket Knife by Nagao Seisakusho is a handcrafted folding knife featuring a 3-inch Warikomi steel Wharncliffe blade and a Parkerized black satin alloy steel handle. Made by the last remaining guild-certified manufacturer, this lightweight, foldable knife blends traditional Japanese craftsmanship with modern minimalist design, perfect for precise everyday tasks and collectors seeking authentic heritage tools.

## Description

The Higo no Kami folding knife has a long history in Japan dating back to the late 19th century. A blacksmith is said to have added a simple lever to a minimally designed pocket knife to aid in opening and closing the blade and to set it apart from other knives. The knife proved to be successful and a guild was formed to oversee the manufacture of the knife. Only those belonging to the guild were allowed to manufacture the knife to specification and use the trademarked name "Higo no Kami". The term "Higo no Kami" means "Lord of Higo" in Japanese, in honor of the Lord of the Kyushu area of Japan, where the knife originated. Today, each Higo no Kami knife is still handmade by the last remaining maker in the guild, Nagao Seisakusho.

Review: The Most Fun I've Bought In A Long Time - I've been looking at a higonokami for a long time, and finally decided to pull the trigger and buy one. I wasn't sure if it would have a place in my daily routine, or if it would end up as just more clutter in my collection of knives. I'm quite glad that I did so, because this little blade is really nice. First, realize that a higo is a friction folder. There is no safe locking mechanism on the blade. Right now the bent brass scales are tight enough to keep the blade secure when the knife is folded up, but I don't have much confidence that this will continue to be the case over time. That being said, I am not carrying this knife in my pocket or in the bottom of a bag where an accidental opening could be catastrophic. I have read that these types of knives were traditionally used by school children in Japan to sharpen pencils. That is a job that this knife is more than capable of. The blade comes extremely sharp, and the back of it is quite thick and sturdy. The tanto-esque point is also quite sturdy. The knife is quite obviously hand made, and made well at that. For the money, this is one of the top "peasant" knives that one could buy. Compared to my Opinel no 8, the higonokami has a shorter blade, but the blade is much thicker and stronger. The higo could be used to pry things that would bend the blade of the Opinel over on itself. The only downside to the knife is that it has no locking mechanism. The Opinel at least has the ring lock that makes it somewhat safe to use, but the higo is just a sharp blade on a hinge. That might limit its usefulness (unless you don't mind losing the occasional finger), but it still doesn't prevent me from giving this knife five stars. Treat it with the same respect that you would a straight razor, but abuse it like you would any peasant knife. It is an all around fun blade, and I'm glad to have it in my collection. If for no other reason than the look on people's faces when I pull it out to sharpen my pencils in public. A higonokami is by far the best pencil sharpener for the money ever made.
Review: A tool with a lot of character, for light use, requires care - Really nice knife with character for the price. I've attached some pics on a ruled mat for scale (the lines are inches), and I tried to capture some details. Mine came in the yellow gift box as pictured (order fulfilled by desertcart on Jan 11, 2016). The blade is obviously hand made. It's thick and substantial, and rough and blackened on the back. Blade came heavily oiled, and I plan on keeping it clean and oiled, since this style of carbon steel will rust. It came respectably sharp, but not razor sharp; it seems relatively easy to sharpen (sharpened using one of those new fangled diamond stones). The edge has a slight (barely perceptible) wave to it, but it's perfectly smooth (whoever sharpened it did a careful job). The brass handle rivet provides ample resistance, but I've heard that it loosens over time, which I will address when it happens using a hammer. I got the black handle, which appears to be brass with a nickel plating, and some kind of oxidation treatment or something to blacken the outside of the nickel plating. I expect the black will rub down to silvery nickel in places, which will add to the character IMHO. When you close it, if you push it all the way in the blade edge WILL hit the back of the case. So, when you close this knife, you HAVE to do it with care, or you will chip the blade edge. Thoughtful care and mantainence is a necessity with this knife, all around, or you will quickly end up with a rusty jagged piece of junk. Treat it gently, wipe after using, rub it regularly with mineral oil, and hammer the rivet when it gets loose, and you'll have a very nice and unique tool for years to come. I plan on carrying this in my pocket for random everyday tasks. Also, I occasionally carve violin bridges, and this might be useful for some parts of that task. It's made to be an easy-to-carry tool for general light tasks and crafts. If you want something convenient with no mantainence that you use to pry and hack and saw at stuff, buy something else. UPDATE: I've had this for a while, now, carry it in my backpack every day. Still in great shape. Keeping it sharp is not a problem. Super useful little tool. And, it's held up and kept in good shape way better than I had originally anticipated.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How can one tell if this blade is a genuine higonokami made by Nagao Seisakusho?**
A: Slippery Pete is wrong. Sorry Pete. Genuine Higo No Kami are less expensive than new knife makers in China that imitate their product.  Yes Pete, the one you got came in brass handle. It's actually a brass colored aluminum, but I've got one like that too. As well S this very one advertised here. Even Knife center sells them between $12 & $450. And they are all this product, just different sizes, different stages off finish completion (this one is barely even polished; ie rough spine & other blade areas), also this guy who is the "Last Guild Member" isn't the last man that makes them. You need to understand how Guilds work. Ancient Japanese trade guilds (like all old skilled profession guilds of old days every) were established to protect craftsmen and their life long education and practice & their rank in these trades guilds or Craftsman guilds. Japan and China had laws made & enforced by their Emperors' courts & counterfeiting was brutally punished.  The few old time blacksmith guilds in Japan that mass produce blades are very few & far between (except Chef knife makers) but Tje Allies Made it illegal for blade Smithing swords & weapons to effectively dis-arm Japan. This law is still in effect today.   There are a few that are allowed to continue in a preservation of thier Heritage.  Higo No Kami is one of these blade maker's guilds in Japan (Nihon). Nagao Seisakusho, is the Guild's Sensai,  Master&  head teacher. His Kanji is on Every Blade, as well as other Kanji of the other Smith involved on your piece.  Like my Japanese swords, I have 3 Katanas, 1 Wakizashi & 1 Tano. And when you take them apart, there are Kanji all over the inside of the handle. When I had some one translate, all had the sword maker & the school or Guild and one is actually dated & names an occasion it was made for as an iintended gift for. 

Anyway, these are genuine. It will even come in the little cardboard box that they all come in... at least the less expensive ones, like this one.

**Q: is the steel agonami blue or shigonami white?**
A: The steel on this model is neither. This model is the laminated SK steel. To get the white steel model, try checking out higonokami model 09 and up (this is 07). The SK steel isn't bad by any means, but it's not the same level of premium steel quality you get with the blue or white paper steels.

**Q: Does this have an image of a samurai on the other side?**
A: No, It does not.   The ones with that image on them are copies of the original. This is an authentic knife it comes with the proper box as well. Well worth it.

**Q: I just bought and  received this knife with no box, just a plastic sleeve.  did I not receive the genuine article shown in these images??**
A: I received the knife with the original paper box (knife was packed in a plastic sleeve). I guess your knife lacks original box, but you should contact the seller for more information.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful historic knife, not the most functional
*by O***I on May 2, 2025*

A special and cool knife that feels like a piece of history. Comes with a sharp edge and the blade feels like high quality metals. Keep in mind that this is not the most ergonomic or comfortable knife to hold, and you can’t open it with one hand as the hinge is pretty stiff (although it’s what keeps the knife from closing, so pros and cons). Great for box cutting and maybe a little wood working, does not lock.
