{"title":"Pocket Knives","description":"\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eJapanese pocket knives come in a range of sizes, styles and blade configurations. From traditional Higonokami pocket knives produced by Nagao Kanekoma, that feature a reverse tanto blade in a lightweight steel or brass handle, to G.Sakai knives that were produced mainly for hunters and campers, and feature a more modern, western blade style. All Japanese pocket knives sold at Daitool are made from the highest quality materials, like VG10 steel, blue paper carbon steel, brass, and carbon fiber. The companies we deal with have inherited thousands of years of Japanese blade-smithing wisdom to create incredibly sharp and durable blades, with practical designs and comfortable, safe handles. Japanese folding knives are excellent everyday carry knives, as they’re typically compact and lightweight. They can be used as woodworking scoring knives, camping knives, hunting \u0026amp; fishing knives, and more.\u003c\/span\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"higonokami-aogami-warikomi-handmade-folding-knife-215mm","title":"Higonokami Aogami Warikomi Handmade Folding Knife 215mm","description":"\u003cp\u003eHandmade Japanese folding knife with a simple design yet extremely durable and effective.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis lightweight Japanese pocket knife is made with high quality steel and comes in various colors and blade lengths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigonokami knives have a ‘Sandwich’ structure that encloses hard steel with soft iron.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause its double-edged V-shaped, you can use either side, regardless of dominant hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith more than 100 years of history and manufacturing skills of 5 generations, Higonokami knives made by Kanekoma are the one and only Higonokami brand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstructions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the caulking becomes loose after long use, place it on something hard like an anvil and tap on it with a hammer to adjust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the caulking is too tight to open the blade, hit the knife on the table with the \"Chikiri (tail)\" faced down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs Higonokami knives are handmade, each Higonokami has its own characteristics and its tightness is not always the same.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor Type : Gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteel Type : Blue steel \"warikomi\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal length: 215mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle length: 120mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade length: 95mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 75g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandmade in Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Kanekoma","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49060541333794,"sku":"NGKA-FLDKNF-AO120","price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0846\/1143\/2738\/files\/P-1-NGKA-FLDKNF-AO120-Higonokami_Aogami_Warikomi_Handmade_Folding_Knife_Large_6073479d-e64e-430d-bd5b-2bc88c7c8d77.jpg?v=1743431466"},{"product_id":"higonokami-aogami-warikomi-handmade-folding-knife-175mm","title":"Higonokami Aogami Warikomi Handmade Folding Knife 175mm","description":"\u003cp\u003eHandmade Japanese folding knife with a simple design yet extremely durable and effective.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis lightweight Japanese pocket knife is made with high quality steel and comes in various colors and blade lengths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigonokami knives have a ‘Sandwich’ structure that encloses hard steel with soft iron.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause its double-edged V-shaped, you can use either side, regardless of dominant hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith more than 100 years of history and manufacturing skills of 5 generations, Higonokami knives made by Kanekoma are the one and only Higonokami brand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstructions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the caulking becomes loose after long use, place it on something hard like an anvil and tap on it with a hammer to adjust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the caulking is too tight to open the blade, hit the knife on the table with the \"Chikiri (tail)\" faced down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs Higonokami knives are handmade, each Higonokami has its own characteristics and its tightness is not always the same.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor Type : Gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteel Type : Blue steel \"Warikomi\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal length: 175mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle length: 98mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade length: 75mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade thickness: 3mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 50g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNote: The above mentioned size and weight might differ slightly because every single product is manufactured by hand.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandmade in Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Kanekoma","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49060607525154,"sku":"NGKA-FLDKNF-AO100","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0846\/1143\/2738\/files\/P-1-NGKA-FLDKNF-AO100-Higonokami_Aogami_Warikomi_Handmade_Folding_Knife_Medium_d4edd695-ef37-4d58-a83c-3e8465dce272.jpg?v=1743435857"},{"product_id":"higonokami-knife-vg10-steel-folding-knife-170mm","title":"Higonokami Knife VG10 Steel Folding Knife 170mm","description":"\u003cp\u003eHigonokami is a hand-forged Japanese folding knife for customers who often engage in outdoor activities.

These unique, lightweight Japanese pocket knives were invented by Kanekoma knife factory in the 1890s. Their popularity spread quickly, and during the early 1900s, over 40 companies and 200 blacksmiths were producing them. Today, Kanekoma is the sole trademark holder, and the only company left producing the Higonokami Japanese pocket knife. If you want to be sure you’ve got a 100% authentic Higonokami knife, the only way is to buy a Kanekoma knife.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Higonokami Woody is a unique folding knife that stands out from the traditional higonokami thanks to its distinctive wooden handle, available in three great colors: Walnut, Grey, and Red. While it embraces the traditional higonokami aesthetics, the addition of a wooden handle introduces a touch of warmth and elegance to the classic design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blade of this folding pocket knife follows the Higonokami tradition, featuring a double-bevel reverse tanto shape that excels in both left and right-handed use. What sets it apart is the use of VG10 stainless steel, a material renowned for its exceptional sharpness, durability, and resistance to rust. While this may make it slightly less sharp than the aogami carbon steel higonokami we offer, it adds a significant amount of rust resistance, making this the ideal tool for everyday carry, camping, fishing, or more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe handle, expertly carved for added grip, ensures a comfortable and secure hold, making this Higonokami Woody Folding Knife a practical and stylish everyday carry tool. Whether you choose the rich tones of Walnut, the subtle sophistication of Grey, or the bold statement of Red, each variant is a testament to Nagao Kanekoma's commitment to quality and innovation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarry a piece of Japanese craftsmanship in your pocket with the Higonokami Woody – a folding knife that seamlessly marries tradition with contemporary style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade material: VG10 stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Total length: 183mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle length: 100mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade length: 75mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade thickness: 2.8mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNote: The above mentioned measurements may differ slightly because every single product is manufactured by hand.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandmade in Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Kanekoma","offers":[{"title":"Walnut","offer_id":50708301676834,"sku":"NGKA-WDYKNF-WT1","price":58.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grey","offer_id":50708301971746,"sku":"NGKA-WDYKNF-GR1","price":58.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red","offer_id":50708302004514,"sku":"NGKA-WDYKNF-RD1","price":58.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0846\/1143\/2738\/files\/Higonokami-Woody-Japanese-Wood-Handled-Folding-Pocket-Knife-183mm-1-2025-07-23T03_59_54.066Z.jpg?v=1766123795"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0846\/1143\/2738\/collections\/pocket_knives_daitool.webp?v=1768967321","url":"https:\/\/japanesetaste.biz\/collections\/japanese-pocket-knives-folding-knives.oembed","provider":"Japanese Taste Business","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
