The Murakami clan and Komataro Nagao, founder of the lineage, were the first craftsmen. At that time, knives were entirely handmade: 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAround 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 into the one known today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRegistered in 1909, the Higonokami brand is protected. Although several manufacturers have contributed to its production in the past, Nagao Kanekoma Seisakusho is now the only one allowed to use this iconic name, heir to five generations of master cutlers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!--mg-interlink--\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso explore: \u003ca href=\"\/en-us\/collections\/higonokami\" title=\"Higonokami\"\u003eHigonokami\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/en-us\/collections\/couteaux-de-poche\" title=\"Pocket Knives\"\u003ePocket Knives\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/en-us\/collections\/accessoires\" title=\"Accessories\"\u003eAccessories\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HIGONOKAMI","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50572457443594,"sku":"TS641","price":71.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/4808\/0394\/files\/couteau-pliant-finition-laiton-ll-couteaux-poches-higonokami-685.jpg?v=1755187615","url":"https:\/\/maisongodillot.com\/en-us\/products\/ll-brass-finish-folding-knife-higonokami","provider":"Maison Godillot","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
