The Higonokami Black SK-5 folding knife represents one of the most recognizable traditional pocket knife designs from Japan. Its minimalist structure reflects the original purpose of Higonokami knives as simple and reliable everyday tools.
Forged from SK-5 steel, the blade offers durability, easy maintenance, and practical cutting performance supported by a hardness of about 60 HRC +/-2. The monosteel blade construction delivers consistent behavior during use and sharpening, while the dark finish emphasizes its utilitarian aesthetic.
The iconic chikiri tab functions as both opener and manual stabilizer, replacing modern locking systems with a traditional friction mechanism. Compact and lightweight, this knife is ideal for users who value classic design, mechanical simplicity, and functional efficiency.
