    I love these little things. So so simple and a lovely bit of history in a way. I have the Damascus version and it's utterly beautiful in my eyes.

    It’s amazing
    It’s a piece of history
    It’s handmade
    It looks stunning
    And it’s a good idea to buy one before they’re gone

      @@triggerhappyeuthey will always be around but what he means is these higonokami knives are made using traditional methods by blacksmiths who have been passing down their knowledge of blade smithing for centuries. Some blacksmiths can trace their lineage back to samurai days where they would be making katanas. Only blades made by these blacksmiths can be called higonokami.
      Due to modernisation of Japan these generational blacksmiths are losing their heritage as the younger generations pursue other careers.
      These style knives will always be available but the chance to buy one from a traditional smith with actual historical heritage are becoming less and less.

    Btw you are supposed to hammer that pivot point/rivet lightly with a hammer to tighten the action, not to squeeze the handle like what's happened here.

  • @GTMarmot
    @GTMarmot 3 роки тому +4

    I quite fancy this one. It's a very Japanese design - similar to the small knives that used to be kept in the scabbards of Japanese swords.

  • @stoneblue1795
    @stoneblue1795 4 роки тому +6

    Easy to tune them up. They use decent steel, the knife makes a good leather working tool as well. A Dremel, brass hammer and a sharpening stone is all it takes. I love mine. Couple taps of the hammer and the action is "tuned" for the next month or so.

    Now that I've just got my first (brass handle, damascus blade), I like these too! I can't work out where mine comes from though - same Japanese lettering on the handle as yours, bought from HH who don't even say that it's a Boker, which is what it says on the box! So I'm mystified. I've written to Boker to see if they'll enlighten me, but I don't expect they will, particularly if it's been 'outsourced' to China...

    I'm the same, been wanting to pick one up when getting something else at HH, but even in the pics you can see some are made with more care than others. Fingers crossed, i suppose. ✌🏼👍🏼

    • @UKLegalCarryKnives
      @UKLegalCarryKnives  4 роки тому +2

      True enough, although for the price it's not the end of the world, besides, I think HH will inspect one for you if you order over the phone. I'll order blind for the channel though haha see how my luck holds out!

    If you get one of the more expensive blue paper steel ones the edge that you can get on one of these is ridiculous. Most of the people saying that these are awful are buying crappy fakes, somehow they don't realise they might have been had even when the blade won't even hold itself in the handle.

      Aogami 1 and 2 and Super Steel (blue paper) are some of the finest knife steels money can buy. Amazed the brass Higonokami uses I think no1 is so "cheap". It's the pure Hitachi White paper steel (1.4-1-5% carbon) with added chromium and tungsten.

    • @lemmyjoker3678
      @lemmyjoker3678 Рік тому

      I’ve heard a lot of diff answers. One being the length of the blade. But when I ordered mine (I got no.6) there were several different numbers with the same stats. So I believe it’s actually the colour of the handle. No.6 is a jade ish green. No.10 was silver I think. Same blade length same blade material same price

    someone was recently found guilty for carrying a svord that was under 3"( the uk version )because it was argued that the lever that opens the knife stops it from folding when held in the hand . the law says it has to be "immediately folding " and this renders all knives like this including the higonokami potentially illegal , just thought i would let people thinking of buying this knife for uk edc know so they can weigh up the risks
