Reviews for Higonokami pocket knife 7,3 cm HIGO28, Blue paper steel

Friday, 1 March 2024

I wanted a knife that had a very hard steel and this knife keeps it's edge well. A bit awkward to use at first but very efficient

Pretty cheaply put together but the steel is awesome. Takes a wicked, wicked edge and is easy peasy to sharpen for such a hard steel. Looks like a little Samurai sword. Tends to rust easily but is easily scrubbed off with a bit of vinegar and the scrubby part of a kitchen sponge.

Feels cheap, although it is a piece of the history of japan, the steel used is blue paper steel and it is handmade. It feels like it was done in a minute with many abnormalities (blade play, extra friction between the blade and the handle at some points when closing and opening. Hand made knives are sometimes more precise and detailed than machined ones, therefore saying "hand made" is not an excuse for such a poorly built product. In conclusion, it is a good steel (abnormal blade) with a pressed sheet of stainless steel around it.
