For over a century, beginning with its founder Komataro Nagao and the establishment of “Hirata Knife” in Miki, Hyogo Prefecture in 1894, Nagao Kanekoma Knife has upheld a tradition of excellence and craftsmanship spanning five generations. Higonokami knives, the hallmark of our brand, are a renowned style of Japanese folding pocket knives. These knives are cherished for their simplicity and practicality, featuring a single blade made from high-carbon steel and a handle crafted with meticulous attention to detail. As the sole successor of Higonokami, our brand represents the epitome of these exceptional knives, embodying the unique legacy of our heritage.
