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!

i already had higonokamis and i watched that boring movie some weeks ago.
not all higonokamis are carbon steel. I just bought a 7cr18mov as a gift and i think it's considered stainless
they are simple and likeable but they're not practical at all.
blue steel / bronze version is my desk knife and i carried a smaller one from time to time.
You can't eat with them, they're thick. I would choose an opinel any day over a higonokami
@merde I think we'd appreciate most of your comment if you didn't call the movie boring
test?
