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, the founder of the lineage, were the first artisans. At that time, the knives were entirely handmade: the blades, cut from raw steel, were meticulously forged, while the sheaths, made of brass or blackened iron, were adorned with engravings depicting characters, horses, flowers, or landscapes.
Around 1891, Taisaburo Shigematsu, a hardware wholesaler, was inspired by a knife brought back from Kagoshima to design a foldable, 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 what we know today.
Registered in 1909, the Higonokami brand is protected. Although several manufacturers participated in its production in the past, Nagao Kanekoma Seisakusho is now the only one allowed to use this iconic name, heir to 5 generations of master cutlers.
