About Nagao Kanekomas

The “Higonokami short knife” or HIGO is a traditional Japanese pocket knife that dates back to 1894. Now being forged by fifth-generation blacksmith Mitsuo Nagao, the company decided to make the “short knife” a folding blade four generations ago, and thus the HIGO was born. 

The Kanji on the blade translates to "Higo no Kami Sadakanekoma".
