Features

Reliable Blade Options
Built with dependable D2 steel for strong edge retention and durability, with an upgraded Water Ripple Damascus version for those seeking a more distinctive and premium look. The modified reverse tanto blade with a precision-ground swedge enhances piercing capability while maintaining excellent control for everyday tasks.

Modernized Traditional Design
Inspired by the classic Higonokami, this design retains the iconic Chikiri lever for intuitive one-handed deployment, staying true to its 19th-century Japanese roots. A slim, streamlined silhouette ensures it carries discreetly, making it an ideal gentleman’s everyday companion.

Versatile Handle Materials
Available in G10, Micarta, and Twill Carbon Fiber, each offering a unique balance of grip, texture, and visual appeal. The carbon fiber version is paired with a Water Ripple Damascus blade for a more elevated and refined finish.

Upgraded Mechanism & Practical Build
Equipped with a secure liner lock, this modern interpretation transforms a traditionally non-locking design into a more reliable, hard-use folder. A ceramic ball-bearing pivot delivers smooth, fast deployment, while the handle’s subtle rounded edges enhance comfort and control during extended use.
