Higonokami knife part 1

A two part vid on my Higonokami knife. If you do a Google search for the terms Higonokami knife, my blog is the first hit for it. That just goes to show that how very little info is out there about it, that a third rate blog gets 1st hit. Very nice knife, highly recommend it. I bought mine from Lee Valley Tools.

Its like a Japanese version of the Svord peasant knife.

[polarrrbear]

Those characters on the blade, 割込, simply mean 'laminated'.

Like you say, school kids used to carry this in their pockets and pencil cases to sharpen their pencils in class. My grandfather still used it to sharpen pencils until he died in '92. It was still ok to take and use this knife in elementary schools back in the 80's, but I think it would cause a big problem now. Nowadays police can confiscate a knife like this if one carries it without explicit purpose.

@NinjutsuMindSet yeah it is a friction folder

[NinjutsuMindSet]

That isn't really a slipjoint. A slipjoint would be a Swiss Army Knife. I'm not completely sure of this but I think that's a friction folder.

You're very welcome. It was good to get a chance to use some of my Japanese again! Glad that I was able to be of service.

Thank you for taking the time and effort to put this video up in the first place.
