    Like a Japanese Opinel. Old-school everyday folder. Nice.

    Fun fact: These came up because of the Meiji Restauration, which included laws that banned carrying swords and such in public.

    I’m loving mine so far! Tempted to buy a second in a sale but too broke haha. They are very affordable I’m just broke. And I’m very happy the one I have. Thiugh even in the sale apparently I spent more than most I hear quoted in vids but the price seems standard on website retailers

      The price really depends on who made the higo and what materials they use. Ours go for $22-28 Canadian!

    Few people are capable of handling a straight razor used for daily tasks. I doubt most people would be able to manipulate the blade open, without serious risk to their fingers.

    I've always wanted to pick one of these up, just haven't gotten around to it yet. Already have the Opinel, this is the Japan Opinel in a way. I carry either a Spyderco Rock Jumper, or a Stretch 2. I enjoy the Seki City Japan Spyderco knives. I can try out all kinds of new steals for reasonable prices while getting a great knife to use.

      Seems clear there's a distinct market of people who are happy to buy a tricked-out version of things that are way more expensive than what the peons pay. It's usually not inherently any better. Wusthof makes this Aeon chef's knife that's got a DLC coating and a bog wood handle and it costs $600. It's not any better as a knife than what you pay $130 for.
