Full Product Description
The Higonokami knife is a traditional and historic Japanese friction folding pocketknife that first appeared over 130 years ago in 1896. After the Samurai class was abolished in the late 1800s there was no longer a demand for swordsmiths to make their famous Katana swords. The highly skilled blacksmiths had to find other products to make and so the Higonokami knife was born.
It gained extreme popularity in Japan’s working-class and was even carried by school children for sharpening pencils. It has since become an iconic and protected Japanese product. Temple Tool Company is proud to partner with the historic fifth-generation Nagao Kanekoma makers of Higonokami to create our own signature branded marking knife version of this timeless knife.
Absolutely love this tool.We talk about precision.This is on the next level

I've only used it a couple of times and it works well. The blade is long enough and quite stiff so it does a nice job.

I haven’t used it so much yet, but I’m really liking this marking knife so far. I wanted a knife with a linger registration surface than the spear point marking knife I’d been using.
