The legend of one very old man making these knives is a myth. There is a pdf called Higonokami Knife by Dr. Rudolf Dick (not kidding) that shows the 3 families and the process of making the knife. This knife is my favorite folder. It's not modern or a workhorse of blade, it just has that imagery of a blade master making knives in the tradition of his great grandfather. Love your channel, you can love knives without getting too serious about it. If you can baton with a folder, you can be pretty sure that it's a well-made knife.

Very good fun review.

Just picked a couple of knives made by Aritsugu in Kyoto in the Higo no Kami style. The blades are no joke on these things! Highly suggest the Aritsugu variant if you can find it. They've been making sharp things out of steel since the 16th century. You don't last that long for nothing.

That's a cool little knife for what it is and at an impulse buy level price.

I really like your dry humor. Nice review also...

From what I heard it keeps sharpness longer then normal steel but is harder to sharpen. And it's basically a knife from the mid 1800s for work people that need a good reliable knife all the money went into the steel of the blade most of the time the high carbon steel is folded about 3 times and often even combines softer and harder steels. Also most children had them in school for sharpening pencils and karving. Edit: it is the most value for your money you can get. A high end, we'll crafted and sharpened blade for around 15-20$

All the boys in Japan who always carried”肥後守” Higonokami in their pockets when they were children are now old men.When you put it in your pocket, you have to secure the blade and handle with a rubber band.The blade was sharpened on granite in the school sink.Children these days are not allowed to carry knives because it is dangerous. Therefore, children in the land of swords cannot learn to use knives safely. It's sad.

Hitachi I believe is the company that makes the steel. Either way "blue steel" or "blue paper steel" refers to the literal paper wrapping the steel comes in. Same with Japanese "white steel" or "white paper steel." This blue steel should be the same as the blue steel Spyderco has used in sprints on some of their Japanese made knives.

@marshalllaw123

6 жыл бұрын

Silent Thunder Ordnance pretty sure that's not correct. Super Blue, which spyderco has used in sprint runs, is a stainless modern super steel. The "blue paper" steel is non-stainless carbon steel.

@silentthunderordnance1655

6 жыл бұрын

Actually Spyderco's "super blue" is not a stainless steel and, by looking at it's composition which you can find on Spyderco's website, you'd have to have a pretty generous definition of "super steel" to include it in that category as well. 1.40-1.50% carbon, 0.30-0.50% chromium, few other alloys at less than .5%. Only thing that really jumps out is 2.00-2.50% tungsten. It looks like a recipe for a really great simple carbon blade steel which is a step up from your basic white steel that has very similar composition minus the chromium and tungsten IIRC. Don't take my word for it though, look it up on Spyderco's website.

Did you know that a blade can be polished with cardboard? And that would explain why cardboard can also dull an edge quickly. That's why box cutters (razor blades)are disposable.

Still great in chest pockets of shirts! Or next to your lighter in your so called 5th pocket.

I’m not sure if I like this review or not. I don’t even know if I want the knife anymore. I’m definitely subscribing. More for the doll hands than the knives lol

Rare steel and paper alloy haha!

Just got mine. The blade itself is pretty great but that brass handle is "fragile" in that I easily bent it out of shape when trying to tighten the pivot area and it also bent when I dropped it. There is definitely blade play because of this though for light cutting it's not really a problem.

How is everyone getting cheaper ones than me?? I’m still very happy with mine. Maybe the price went up? Mines a Nagao Higonokami

It is not durable enough for an every day pocket knife (atleast mine is not) I love carbon steel knives like my mora but I have come to the conclusion that a dailey beater should be stainles and doulble bevel. I do like the price point and just looking at it sharpens it to a razor. I buy alot of knives for under $100 and for $20 There are almost no knives you can get as sharp. (Accept again mora lol)
