MORE ABOUT HIGONOKAMI
Knife making began in the 1890s in Hirata, in the village of Kurumi, Mishukuro district (now Miki). The Murakami clan and Komataro Nagao, founder of the line, were the first craftsmen. At that time, knives were entirely handmade: the blades, cut from raw steel, were carefully forged, while the sheaths, made of brass or blackened iron, were decorated with engravings depicting people, horses, flowers, or landscapes.
Around 1891, Taisaburo Shigematsu, a hardware wholesaler, was inspired by a knife brought back from Kagoshima to design a folding, practical, and portable model. This new type of knife, named "Higonokami," marked the beginning of the production of the famous folding knives. Since then, their shape has evolved to the one known today.
Registered in 1909, the Higonokami brand is protected. Although several makers have taken part in its production in the past, Nagao Kanekoma Seisakusho is today the only one allowed to use this emblematic name, heir to five generations of master cutlers.
