Handmade in Japan, this compact folding knife features a 70mm three-layer Aogami 2 (Blue Paper Steel) blade, renowned for its exceptional sharpness, impressive edge retention, and precise cutting performance. The blade is constructed with a hard Aogami 2 steel core clad between two layers of softer iron, creating an excellent balance of cutting performance, durability, and resilience. With a hardness of approximately 59 HRC and a double bevel edge, it is well suited to a wide range of everyday cutting tasks.

Its elegant tortoiseshell-effect handle gives the knife a distinctive traditional appearance while providing a comfortable and secure grip. The knife opens using the classic Chikiri lever and incorporates a simple thumb safety to help prevent the blade from closing during use, preserving the authentic design of a traditional non-locking Higo knife.

As the blade is crafted from high-carbon Aogami steel, it is not stainless and should be cleaned, dried, and lightly oiled after use to maintain its performance and appearance. Camellia oil is recommended for long-term care.
