Description: HIGONOKAMI Woody Natural Wood Handle VG10 Japanese Folding KnifeMade in Japan HIGONOKAMI is a traditional Japanese folding knife with the history of over 130 years in production since 1894.It is sometimes said to be a "Japanese Opinel" with its same long history, simple construction, durability, and unchanging original shape.This has been a standard folding knife every Japanese familiar with.There have been about 40 factories manufacturing HIGONOKAMI in peak period (1950's), but only one small factory remaining now on the verge of extinction due to the appearance of pencil sharpner, snap-off blades, etc. Most of their knives are made with the traditional Japanese Katana forging procedure, which is to sandwitch harder steel with softer steel to realize both hardness and viscosity. This is the genuine authentic model with wooden handle and VG10 blade by Kanekoma factory.The muti-layerd (packer) wood is strong against moisture and water repellent.Therefore, even if it is wet, it does not expand and does not cause stiffness of opening /closing of blade like Opinel.In addition, thick and ergonomic handle gives you comfort and high leverage.Muti-layered (packer) wood handleHand forged VG103 layer construction (hard VG10 is sandwitched by softer stainless steel for ease of sharpening)For both right-handed or left-handedSimple construction for ease of maintainanceCompact enough for carrying around in pocketNo locking mechanism (using thumb knob for preventing closing of blade) Specification Model : Woody VG10 Blade Length : 70mm / 2.7in Total Length : 183mm / 7.2inWeight : 42g / 1.5oz Handle Colors : Available in Brown / Red / Blue**Please specify handle color when ordering.
