The founder of the Higonkami knife, Komataro Nagao, started the "Hirata Knife" in Miki, Hyogo Prefecture over 100 years ago.
Here, the manufacturing skills from 5 generations of tradition and craftsmanship have developed to make the small folding knife what it is today. Higonokami knives made by Nagao Kanekoma Knife are the only brand allowed to call their knives Higonokami.
