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. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIt 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"560\" height=\"30\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 97.969px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 50%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Material\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 50%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003ePremium Aogami No.2 Blue Paper Steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 50%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Material\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 50%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eBrass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 50%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 50%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e3\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 50%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 50%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e7\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Temple Tool Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46560039469248,"sku":"TTC.9.0002","price":72.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0659\/8131\/7312\/files\/Japanese_Marking_Knife_Folding_Single-Bevel_Higonogami_A.jpg?v=1752173262","url":"https:\/\/templetoolco.com\/products\/japanese-marking-knife-folding-single-bevel-higonokami","provider":"Temple Tool Co ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
