## Work with surgical precision


With a Tsurugi saw you work with surgical precision in the most densely vegetated corners, without damaging surrounding branches. These saws are also perfect for removing problematic branches such as intersecting branches. The saws have razor-sharp teeth that leave you with a smooth cut. There are straight and curved versions of these saws.


## About Silky


Silky saws have been produced by Um Kogyo Inc. in Japan ever since 1919. There is a perfect Silky saw for almost any purpose. From arborist to carpenter or bushcrafter. After all, different purposes sometimes ask for a different approach. Fresh and soft wood is cut with coarse serrations, while for dry and hard wood it is best to use fine serrations.

## Why choose Roselli? 

Roselli knives are made from the type of steel that the founder, Heimo Roselli, invented himself, namely UHC steel. UHC stands for Ultra High Carbon. This steel thus has unprecedented hardness thanks to its high carbon content, allowing Roselli knives to stay sharp for a very long time. What you should bear in mind is that harder steel is often more difficult to sharpen. Fortunately, Roselli has thought about this too, which is why this company also offers a free sharpening service. You will need to cover the shipping costs to and from the Roselli factory in Finland yourself. 

 

## Roselli product types 

Roselli is mostly known for their razor-sharp hunting knives, carpenter's knives and all-round outdoor knives. In addition to this, Roselli also produces knivesaxes. Like the knives, these axes are known for their unparallelled hardness. Usually, a high hardness means that a steel is more brittle, but Roselli has found the perfect mix between hardening and tempering. 

 

## History of the Roselli knives 

The story behind Roselli started in Finland. Heimo Roselli was born and raised on the countryside, and spent a lot of time outside fishing and hunting. Growing up, he really hated bad knives. That is why he started producing his own knives, to find the best balance between hardness and flexibility. He spent dozens of years looking and experimenting, and became a master at metal work and metallurgy. This is clear when you look at the Roselli products! They are known for their sustainability and very hard and sharp steel. 

 

### Warranty on Roselli knives 

Roselli believes in their products. It is why the first owner of their products receives a lifelong warranty. This warranty also covers material and production flaws. Only for the knife, not the sheath. Damage to the tip and edge are not a part of warranty, unless it was clear that this damage was caused as a result of a material flaw. Damage caused by misuse or improper use are not covered by the warranty.

## Features of a Higonokami pocket knife

The construction of a traditional Higonokami is really simple. The handle is made from one piece of usually brass or stainless steel. This has been folded over, which forms the grip scales. This simple but effective construction keeps the price of a Higonokami quite low.

Typically, these knives are not fitted with a lock. The thumb rest (chikiri), and the friction of the hinge screw and handle ensure that the knife stays in the opened position during use. The friction of the handle scales also ensures that the knife does not open when it shouldn't. This type of knife is called a 'friction folder'. The reversed-tanto style blade, with its pointed tip, is another typical feature.

## How to choose the best Higonokami

### Choose your preferred brand

The first step in choosing a Higonokami is to select the brand. At Knivesandtools, you will find Higonokami knives from 3 renowned brands:

**Higonokami**: the only original brand officially allowed to use the name. The knives are entirely handmade, by one maker: Mr. Motosuke Nagao.

**Ohta**: this brand produces beautiful handmade knives with the same attention to detail and quality as the original Higonokami.

**Böker**: these modern interpretations lack the traditional chikiri (lever), giving them a sleeker and contemporary look.

### Steel types

Choose a knife based on steel type:

**SK-carbon steel**: tough and easy to sharpen.

**Aogami (Blue Paper carbon steel)**: a premium steel with excellent cutting properties.

**Stainless steel**: low-maintenance and corrosion-resistant, ideal for those who value convenience.

## The history of Higonokami knives

The origins of the Higonokami are intertwined with Japanese history. Towards the end of the samurai era, the samurai lost many of their privileges. Including carrying a sword in public spaces. As a result, many blacksmiths lost their biggest customers and started mass-producing knives. Many of these blacksmiths settled around Miki, a region with many rivers and iron ore sands, and the historic birthplace of the Higonokami.

The name Higonokami is a contraction of 'Higo no Kami'. This means 'lord of Higo' in Japanese; an honorary title for samurai from the Higo region in Japan. In 1899, a knife makers' guild was established in Miki, which established the name 'Higonokami' as a trademark in 1907\. Only members of the guild had the right to produce a Higonokami. At its peak, the guild counted as many as 50 blacksmiths. From carpenters to schoolchildren, everyone in Japan used to carry a Higonokami pocket knife.

The Higonokami has grown into one of the most famous knife designs ever. And it's deeply rooted in knife history. Today, the guild has all but disappeared. There's only one original creator who still produces them: Mr. Motosuke Nagao. You'll recognize his knives by their blue and gold cardboard boxes. According to tradition, he is the only one who is allowed to use the term Higonokami. Nevertheless, there are many other brands using this name. Such as the Japanese brand Ohta. They are just as distinctive!
