Motosuke Nagao Higonokami SK-5 Chrome
Motosuke Nagao Higonokami Chrome
This Japanese Higonokami knife is made from Japanese SK-5 carbon steel (non-stainless). This hard core steel is clamped with a softer steel type for protection. Due to the high hardness of the core steel, this knife remains sharp for a long time. This double-sided sharpened knife is completely forged by hand by the only master smith who is allowed to make Higonokami knives (Motosuke Nagao). The blade is sturdy and manually sharpened and is very easy to sharpen yourself.
