Higonokami Japanese Fixed Blade Knife
Introducing the Higonokami Kogatana Bannou, a versatile and highly popular small pocket knife that has been used for generations by outdoor enthusiasts in Japan.
Crafted in the traditional style, the blade of this one-piece steel knife seamlessly extends into the handle. The handle itself is adorned with a tightly woven, high-quality Japanese chirimen fabric, adding an extra layer of elegance and texture. The handle is finished off with a tiny brass bell, giving this knife a truly unique and charming appearance.
The Higonokami Kogatana Bannou features a Kogatana blade shape, which is perfect for various small tasks, such as woodworking, fruit peeling, or food preparation.

The blade is also coated with Kuro-uchi to enhance its durability and prevent corrosion.
