"Warikomi" means 'sandwich' in Japanese. The blade of this knife has a central harder layer of SK steel for improved edge retention, sandwiched between two layers of soft iron for strength. This is the same construction you find in a Samurai sword. 

This knife has a blade 63mm long (so can be carried legally in the UK). The design is characterised by the 'chikiri' - the lever used to open the knife. There is no locking mechanism. Note that this knife is not stainless so please keep it dry to avoid corrosion.

HIGONOKAMI

A ‘Higonokami’ is a traditional Japanese folding pocket knife, designed in 1896. These knives were once carried by virtually every person in Japan. The name means “Lord-of-Higo”. Higo was an old province in Japan, on the island of Kyūshū, today’s Kumamoto Prefecture. “Kami”, literally “protector”, was used as an honourable title for Samurai of very high rank bestowed upon them by the shōgun.

5TH GENERATION BLACKSMITH

The only maker allowed to call his knives ‘Higonokami’ now is 5th generation blacksmith Mr Nagao, based in Miki. Mr Nagao has produced these knives for TOG and we have laser etched our logo on the handles.

    Best knives I have ever had. Using the tip they are brilliant cutting paper resting on a plastic cutting board; much better than a scalpel.

    Customer Feedback:

    Your customer service is dreadful. I have emailed; no reply. I have returned the knife I bought as it’s not what I expected and quite frankly very disappointing. It’s been delivered and no acknowledgment. Will I ever get my money back?

    Review Date: 2024-11-18

    Customer Feedback:

    I wanted something exceptional to use prepareing food/cooking etc and to simply "show-off" on those special occasions. My TOG knife is just the thing. Obviously it is very sharp and does the job it was designed for extremely well. I love it perhaps a little too much as I do hesitate to use it, and I shall always treasure it. The service and delivery was very good.
