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. They are crafted with steel from the Yasugi District thru a process called “the fire polishing”…how cool is that?
The Kanji on the blade translates to "Higo no Kami Sadakoma".

"This is an elegent yet simple friction folder design. The blade is nicely curved and sharp the handle while basic is sturdy and feels nice in the hand. You may need to file the inner edges of the handle as they can feel a little sharp in the palm"
"Unusual, elegant simplicity, attractive design, with quality materials. For the gent who likes to always have a cutting implement at hand, but needs tobe mindful of the modern workplace—not wanting to risk a hysterical reaction and be . . . misunderstood, perhaps mislabelled. This stays very flat in the pocket."
