D2-Higonokami

Very nice folding knife! Samurai inspired! D2 steel and smooth and sharp! Very classy. Comes with sheath. Not to store in sheath but a nice sheath to carry it with.

well made, absolutely beautiful design, sharp, ease opening, better then some bucks knife

This knife is amazing for the money! The blade is super sharp out of the box! I knew if I fidgeted with it long enough I was going to get cut... and I did. This is the closest to a real Japanese Tanto folder I have come across. It is beautiful and solid. I would not be afraid to use this for cutting as I know the blade can handle it. Unfortunately, I think this will be a collector piece for me as I find it a bit too dangerous to EDC. The blade when closed is so close to the back of the handle scales that I am sure I can cut myself with it closed just by running my hand against the back of the scales gently. I feel the blade contact my palm when closing it. Also it is not easy to open for someone not familiar with a front flipper. This is still an amazing piece and I am so glad I kept it in my wish list even though it has been out of stock for over a year and a half. I would recommend buying it now just to have since it may not stay in stock long. Simply beautiful!

Awesome knife for the price. It's just top notch fit and finish all around. This would be a $200+ knife if it had a butterfly or spyder on the blade.

Make sure lock blade makes an audibly loud click to engage lock. Sometimes it clicks but lock blade does not engage. Just give a quick flip seems to do best……… update on knife after two years. First year when I pulled my keys out it caught on the knife knife came out of my pocket. The thumb tab flipper hit the ground and snapped off. Try to cut a thumbnail groove in the back with my mini grinder doesn’t work because it’s too far back to the knife to open. Got in touch with the buyer. Explain the situation never heard anything from them. All the knives that I own are lifetime warranty I mentioned that as well. but no response. The little clip continually keeps coming off. I actually even put Loctite on it and tightened it back down and it still came off. Can’t find it anywhere, so no response from the owner, which is kind of sad no replacement or anything offered. So with that being said, you can expect possible issues from the knife that’s up to you I like the knife but with a problem it’s had just bought another knife. Seems to be the problem with Amazon. If you have an issue and you get in touch with the buyer you get no response whatsoever and this is not the first second or third or fourth time I’ve had issues.

This Knife is amazing! So sharp you can shave with it out of the box! Very good Quality & Workmanship!

Beautiful knife and seems well crafted. How it opens feels a little awkward to me though - not your typical flipper. Came extremely sharp and probably not good for klutzes like me. When I first opened it I was checking it out at my desk. On opening the blade it slipped out of my hand and went tip first right through my shorts and into my leg. All on my and my fault. It was so sharp it almost didn't hurt. I should have gone to the ER right away but instead just put a hydrocolloidal bandage on it which stopped the bleeding. Went to the ER the next day and they said I'd waited too long and to stitch it up then would be an infection risk. Word to the wise.... Because of the opening mechanism it probably won't be an EDC knife but it is still an interesting and well crafted knife for the collection.

I own a significant number and variety of knives and I must say this is a great knife at a value price. The D2 tool steel has approximately 12-13% chromium and therefore falls into the category of a semi-stainless steel; however, this is only 1-2% less than the 14% minimum to be a full stainless. D2 is a hard and reasonably tough steel. Not as tough as CPM-20CV or Sandvik 14C28N, but it has excellent edge retention. It is an effective combination of wear resistance and toughness at a hardness of 58-60 HRC. For all those having difficulty using the flipper to open with one hand, it is because the flipper is designed for opening with your thumb rather than your index finger. Use of the thumb provides an almost effortless as well as fast opening.
