About the Higonokami Blue Paper Steel Brass S

The Higonokami Blue Paper Steel Brass S is an authentic Japanese folding knife that represents over a century of traditional craftsmanship from Miki City, Japan. Combining a high-performance Blue Paper Steel (Aogami) blade with a classic solid brass handle, this iconic friction folder delivers excellent cutting performance with a timeless, minimalist design.

The Aogami blade steel offers excellent edge retention, wear resistance, and the ability to achieve a fine, precise cutting edge with proper care. Designed around simplicity and function, the Higonokami features the traditional “chikiri” lever and friction-folder mechanism, allowing smooth deployment without unnecessary components while preserving the original character of this legendary Japanese pocket knife.

Handcrafted by Nagao Kanekoma Factory in Miki, Japan—the sole trademark holder of the “Higonokami” name—this knife continues a traditional Japanese blade-making legacy dating back to 1894. With its premium steel, solid brass construction, and the inclusion of a synthetic leather pouch, the Higonokami Blue Paper Steel Brass S is equally suited for everyday carry (EDC), precision cutting tasks, and collectors of authentic Japanese knives.
