nice
Thanks ⛩
Thats fkn beautiful..
Brass handle with exceptional quality steel.
True classic standing up to the test of time.
The fact that these are handmade knives really intrigues me. None of this mass produced cheap quality stuff, a level of craftsmanship rarely seen today.
Yeah.. it's amazing you can get a quality hand-forged knife at such an affordable price.
Its a shitty knife...
Higonokami Sadakoma👍✨It rusts quickly but cuts very well✨!!
I was assigned to Japan in the mid to late 1960s. I don't think that I ever saw anyone that sold or made knives while I was there. I lived off base in a small Japanese community near Hakata. I was assigned to an Intelligence unit, and often trained with the Japanese National Police on some of their exercises. I loved my time there, and wish to know how I can purchase one of the friction folders as a memento of my time there. Thank you, in advance, for your attention to this matter.
Thank you for the comment and your story. These are available on eBay.
Though, you must hunt/research which are the legit, authentic ones.
The ones shipped direct from Japan or Japanese US based sellers are your best bet.
Waiting patiently for mine.
I got a black metal one, I love it.
Nice! I want a black one too!
I must have paid around ¥2400 for mine which I bought in Kyoto. First time I was in Japan I didn't buy one because I thought it was a cheap knife. Then I realized the Japanese more often then not have fair prices on things. The second trip I bought one with out hesitation.
I also got some yamazaki ;)
awsome. i brought my one in kyoto too.
These Higonokami knifes were very popular with US occupation forces in Occupied Japan around 1948 or so. The ones I saw in the 1960's were worn out by use. At the time I didn't really know what I was looking at.
Very cool! Those would probably be worth a lot these days!
@@LessTalkMoreDelicious The was a period in the 80's and 90's when they were. The problem was because the basic knife was unchanged they were being counterfeited so many of these fakes were dumped on the market that you have to have a Higonokami with a traceable provenance to prove they are real. Even with this is only add's a few dollars to their value, this is actually a good thing because there is no reason not to actually use a 100 years old Higonokami if it is in good condition.
Japan makes good knives
Yup, Japan and the swedes
Very nice video! :)
Thanks for watching!
It looks good, simple and quality
It sure is!
Nice pocket knife
Are these legal to bring around Japan?
I heard pocket knife blades over 6cm are illegal there
Yes, illegal. Most weapons are illegal to carry there.
@@LessTalkMoreDelicious so they're banned in Japan or do people need a license for that?
wollffinn I have no idea lol.
@@LessTalkMoreDelicious oof, ok
So i was looking at the silver/black(?) and was wondering which color it really is, because if it’s black, I’d rather have this color
Thanks......just ordered one!......The brass handle is begging to be tarnished by....vinegar,salt,lemon juice and baking soda!!!...👍
Nice! Yeah, patina is always nice.
@@LessTalkMoreDelicious it's here!!!....... OMFG!.....sorry but it's a work of Art!.....👍💖
Your review is fantastic! Congratulations on cutting right to chase (no pun intended). Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
how do you tell a real higo from a fake? i have one but i can't remember where i bought it, maybe amazon (leading me to think it is probably fake). it did come in a similar box to yours, but mine has a darker finish.
I have no idea really. But if it came/shipped from Japan, it's most likely real.
@@LessTalkMoreDelicious interesting, cool. thanks for the response!
Nice video. Does the blade need to be oiled frequently to prevent rust?
Mine isn't rusted. If you use it with wet objects (food) or store it outside, then it will rust.
I have basically the same one but mine doesn't have the darker finish on the spine of the blade area, and mine is a 110mm. If you think this knife is boring because it doesn't have fancy colors, serrations, or a locking mechanism, then you either know nothing or just don't appreciate the work or craftsmanship that goes in making hand forged knives from Japan. Great knife, I wish mine had the same finish. Also idea what the approximate Rockwell Hardness is to these blades? (Should be around probably 59 RW but apparently this steel can get up to 62 RWH)
they are 59 i'm pretty sure at least the one i one is
gangster or gardening tool?
Sammie Rin haha! Maybe both...gangster gardening 🤣
@@LessTalkMoreDelicious be safe gang man!
its ugly as hell. i hope the blade is good steel at least. It does look hand forged.
nice but boring
Simple knives are one of the best ones
Sometimes boring is good.
Yawn
