Knife Information

1894- Mr. Tasaburo Shigematsu, a hardware wholesaler, introduced a new pocket knife with its blade and sheath folded by installing a small handle “Chikiri (tail)” on the blade, while inspired by the knife he brought back from Kagoshima.

He named it “Higonokami Knife” because many of his customers were in Kumamoto area (formally Higo country), which turned out to dramatically increase his sales. The blades have gradually changed their shapes. Unlike single-edged knives, the double-edged blades (V-shaped cross section) were in those days considered common. The earlier blades had a sharper tip (shape of a bamboo leaf), but now they have square shapes. The sheaths had a vertically folding style and a cross folding style, now the vertical one has to be custom made.

In 1911, at the First Kobe Export Articles Competitive Exhibition, Crown Prince (later Emperor Taisho) liked Higonokami on display very much and bought one, which is said to have helped its fame further spread.

The Higonikami is a fantastic traditional utility knife at a low cost.

Accessories Information

The GlassStone series of sharpening stones uses a revolutionary design to provide great usability within a thin package formed from a combination of glass layers. The conventional image is that sharpening stones are large and heavy, but GlassStones are not only thin and light, but also strong, as layers of tempered glass are stuck together. GlassStones therefore have strong resistance to cracking or sudden breakage caused by external shocks such as being dropped.

Shapton stones do not need to be soaked except the very first time after purchase. We do recommend that on first use, you pre-soak the stone in water for five to six minutes to secure even smoother sharpening. Shapton stones do not need a Nagura Stone, and lapping with a Nagura Stone will leave the surface rough and ragged.

Asahi have been manufacturing synthetic cutting boards for Japanese knives for over 50 years. Over this span of time they have refined their products and now offer some of the best quality cutting boards in the world. 

There are some great benefits to using a synthetic board:

- They are Antibacterial/Mould resistant. This is a huge advantage over wooden cutting boards that hold bacteria even after washing. 

- Easy on knives. They have a wood-like texture and good feedback. 

- They are scratch and wear resistant, and very tough. A test was completed after 50,000 cuts in a controlled environment, and the synthetic board had approximately 66% less wear depth. 

- Stability. These boards are weighty, they don't slide around on the bench.

About Hasegawa 
Hasegawa are one of the biggest manufacturers of cutting boards in Japan. Their cutting boards are highly sought-after amongst hospitality professionals and home cooks alike for their antibacterial properties, wood cores that resist warping, and forgiving cuttin feel.  

Care
To prevent warping, it is recommended to place the board flat for storage. Not recommended for heavy chopping. Avoid handling fried foods on the surface as it becomes stained at a faster rate. Ultraviolet ray sterilization is not recommended as it may cause discoloration. Stop using immediately if the internal wood core structure is exposed to view. When stains become obvious, an appropriate amount of bleach can be used for cleaning. Keep away from fire of high temperature as it may cause deformation. Bleach Safe, Dishwasher Safe.
