Reviews for Higonokami pocket knife 7 cm HIGO09, Blue paper steel, messing

Difficult to open, but it certainly does stay open. The blade is truly sharp and is up to most tasks expected of it. Overall it is an excellent knife and a welcome " workhorse " in my collection. I'm glad I bought it.

Bought as a 40th Birthday present for my friend as he appreciates useful items that are traditional and have story to them. This fits the bill perfectly really. Sure you can buy 'fancier' versions with titanium and carbon fibre..... But the traditional stuff just feels different. A cool, handy little knife for those times when you never thought you'd need to cut something. Delivery from The Netherlands was really quick too. No complaints at all.

I bought this knife as it is unique, before I watched some of the less than complimentary reviews on YouTube. It suits my needs having improved the edge, although I wouldn't want it as my only pocket knife. I'm a fan of Japanese knives and overall I'm happy enough with knife but I'm glad I chose one of the less expensive varieties of the knife

Out of the box is not sharp, as I would aspect, nor the best finish on the blade, but if have the patience and a whetstone this "blunt" unfinished tool becomes a precision blade. Blue paper steel is one of the best steel to have ( not stainless, so keep it dry). The blade is thick, 3mm. When you think about is is not much, but if you want to use it on fruits or soft vegetables looks like a split-logger. :) All depends for the purpose you give to the knife, otherwise is a wonderful piece. I really enjoy its simplicity and I manage to sharpen it to a shaving razor blade level. I just love it!
