FGL045 Sheath & Higonokami VG10
Higonokami Blade
Manufactured from rust-resistant VG-10 steel with additional softer alloys, ensuring a forgiving blade that is less prone to chipping while maintaining a sharp and enduring edge.
Made in Japan
Crafted in the workshop of Nagao Kanekoma in Hyōgo Prefecture, this knife echoes the heritage of Japanese blacksmithing dating back to Japan's Meiji Period in the late 19th century.
Hand-stitched Sheath
Reinforced hand-stitch construction made with beeswax-coated linen thread, which allows for thicker, unfailing stitches that a machine can’t replicate.
