Want a Higonokami

kram115 · Jul 16, 2012

I love the look but would like something a little more high end than the typical $20 brass ones. Don't want a $500 one either though. Anyone know where to get a reasonably priced one? Found this one online with Ironwood I think. Looks very nice.

Oops, double

not sure I've seen a mid level Higo-no-kami, maybe a friction folder might interest you?

Hiroaki Ohta makes some, ironwood and damascus. Found some by "Mr. Goto" that also look great.

Already have a michael morris friction folder. Looking for a higonokami specifically.

I don't know what something like this would run, but our very own Serge Panchenko recently showed off a pretty cool one:

First Higonokami

Ben Cardoso makes a really nice higo too.
Get a Svord Peasant folder to hold you over.

AG Russell sells the Mino Kami Japanese Folder. It actually has a liner lock, carbon fiber handles, a pocket clip, and a Damascus blade for about $150. She's a looker!

Yeah I've seen his. It's pretty damn nice. I'd guess too expensive for me though.

Looks like they just jacked up the price of a typical $25 one.
