Item: 10. SK Folder Stainless 2.63" HIGO03SL & HIGO04SL
this little fella shipped a little less sharp than the biggest version that I also ordered. the opening action is a little stiff compared to my other 2, but i imagine it will wear in. 4/5 because the quality of these knives are insane for the price. they take an edge very well, and are super sturdy

A very cool blade indeed. It’s rather small but the sharpness of the knife makes up for it. Pretty good quality!

Product description
The Higonokami knife has a storied history that dates back to the late 19th century in Japan. It originated in the Hyogo prefecture, specifically in the town of Miki, which was renowned for its blacksmithing tradition. The name "Higonokami" is a tribute to the Higo province, where the knife first gained popularity, and "kami," which means "god" or "protector."
During the Meiji period (1868-1912), these folding pocket knives became synonymous with Japanese craftsmanship. They were often carried by farmers, craftsmen, and the former samurai class due to their practicality and versatility. The Higonokami knife was a symbol of utility and reliability in the daily lives of the Japanese people.
