Rules of Knife Safety
1. Always ensure that no one is with arms reach of you when you are using your knife.
2. Always cut away from yourself.
3. When performing finer work, try to get a thumb on the spine (back) of the blade.
4. Do not touch or move the knife toward anything you’re not willing to cut.
5. Keep the blade closed or sheathed until ready to cut.

* Small marks and scratches are normal with all Higonokami.
* Non stainless steel chef, kitchen & folding knives require a small amount of care to prevent surface rust. Even though this can easily be removed if it does occur, we recommend you hand wash and thoroughly dry after each use, do not use a dishwasher. For extended storage, coat in some oil.

HANDMADE FORGING

With the traditional forging process, the molecules of the iron material are finely tuned, leading to the completion of a "living kitchen knife" that breathes.

DURABILITY

The process of heating and forging each material for mold making is repeated three or four times to quickly shape the blade and create durability before the carbon is released from the steel causing it to lose its original strength.

SHARPNESS

The blade is the most important factor in achieving the best possible sharpness. It is polished in our own blade factory to produce uncompromising sharpness.

HANDLE

The highest priority is placed on sturdiness, a sense of luxury, and a shape that is easy to grip and does not cause fatigue even after long hours of use.
