Anyone else watch the new Ghibli movie and want the knife?
Studio Ghibli’s new movie, The Boy and the Heron, prominently places quite a few traditional Japanese knives, including kitchen knives, a sword, and the boy’s pocket knife, a Higonokami. They’re a carbon steel friction folder. I just thought it was a vibe seeing it in the movie.
If you want to buy one, fuck Amazon and Chinese copies, go directly to the source!
Edit: higonokami-knife.com may be less legit than others. See comment
$31 for this knife SCREAMS that it is also made in China and being sold with a bullshit story to sell it to chumps who believe it.
@w2tpmf The translation is atrocious for sure. At least it explains the company they claim it comes from. I have heard this site recommended on r/EDC before as legitimate, but it looks like there are sounder options out there, so look there instead!
I’ll edit my post
