Higonokami pocket knife 7,4 cm KT-HIGO07BL, SK-carbon steel, black

Love this knife, simple everyday carry friction folder that can be used on carpets wood etc, anything you need to cut this bad boy will do the job. definitely recommend this as a cheap but extremely simple and high quality edc.

Superior to other Higonokami knives I´ve seen in brick and mortar shops (that were really miniature knives with very reduced functionality). Pros: - Aesthetically pleasing, conversation piece type of object - Robust, sharp, very functional blade able to withstand moderate to hard work - I thought the absence of a locking mechanism would be a problem, but the blade does stay securely in place - Fair price, very cost effective Cons: Not exactly cons, more features inherent to the design and build. - Regular maintenance needed (cleaning and coat of oil) - even stainless steel knives need this, of course. This one might need a bit more often. - Locking mechanism. I know it´s not the original Higonokami design, but I still wish they made these with a locking mechanism... Summary : Would buy again and recommend purchase.
