Motosuke Nagao Higonokami SK-5 Black
Motosuke Nagao Higonokami SK-5 Black,
This Japanese Higonokami knife is made of 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 stays sharp for a very long time.

The blade is firm and manual sharpened and is very easy to sharpen yourself. This knife can be ordered in 3 different lengths, you can select the correct length in your ordering process.
