{"product_id":"miyamoto-higonokami-pocket-knife-with-black-handle","title":"Miyamoto Higonokami Pocket Knife with Black Handle","description":"Around 1894 hardware wholesaler Taseburo Shigematsu commissioned blacksmith Sadaharu Murakami to create the Higanokami knife based on a blade of unknown origin. Like our other folding knives, the simple and rugged construction made it a ubiquitous and long lasting knife in Japan. At the peak of its popularity there were 50 manufacturers producing the knives. In 1961 after a political assassination led to a banning of blades, the popularity waned and now there are very few manufacturers still making them. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe blades are made of white steel and set in a folded sheet of steel adorned with a golden Samurai. As a friction folder, it has no locking mechanism. The knife is opened using the forged lever tang. The blades are hand-forged and extremely hard but also relatively brittle. Now you can always have a golden Samurai in your back pocket. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"specs_and_care\" style=\"display: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"sizing-spec\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack 95mm (~4 inch) handle, also available in brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlim shape easily slips in to your pocket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e75mm (~3 inch) white steel blade \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForged lever tang for opening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLanyard hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hida Tool","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":14942374407,"sku":"Miyamoto Higonokami Pocket Knife with Black Handle","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/4252\/products\/HigoReplacement2.jpg?v=1455217049","url":"https:\/\/www.handeyesupply.life\/products\/miyamoto-higonokami-pocket-knife-with-black-handle","provider":"Hand-Eye Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
