## Original Higonokami?

The design is reminiscent of the well-known traditional style of Higonokami knives. The name Higonokami is a contraction of 'Higo no Kami'. This means 'lord of Higo' in Japanese. An honorary title for samurai from the Higo region in Japan, and also the place where the knives come from. Strictly speaking, only one producer is allowed to use the term Higonokami. However, we think the Ohta Knives pocket knives are perfectly entitled to bear this name. They are just as distinctive. Made of high-quality steel, finished with beautiful materials and because the knives are handmade in Japan, each knife has the unique character you expect from a Higonokami. That is also what makes these knives so special.

## Simplicity in design and function

The perfect simplicity of the Higonokami knife shape and its non-intimidating character make these knives particularly suitable for office environments and other locations where carrying a pocket knife is convenient but not usual. Because the knives have no locking mechanism and can sometimes only be opened with two hands, in many countries they also comply with local laws and regulations on carrying folding knives.

Knives from **Ohta Knives** are in demand all over the world. The brand name Ohta comes from the designer and creator's name: Hiroaki Ohta. The exceptional Ohta knives are expertly made by hand by Hiroaki himself in Tokyo, Japan. From heat treatment to making leather sheaths, Hiroaki does everything himself. First-rate Japanese pocket knives!
