Food-safe Camellia Oil is the most natural way to ensure carbon steel knives do not rust during storage. Camellia is a very light oil, and when applied creates a barrier between your knife and moisture which may rust or damage your blade. It does not affect glue or finishes on your knives.

*Please select the correct handle size before confirming your order.*
Chefs Edge will not accept responsibility if the wrong-sized handle is selected.

Fancy up your kitchen knives with a custom handle! This stunning Octagon handle is crafted from African Blackwood and Black Buffalo Horn, and is suitable for Gyuto 210mm blades. African Blackwood is preferred over Ebony due to it's high toughness, whereas Ebony has a tendency to crack during production.

Handles are made from natural timber and as such can vary in tone, grain, and general appearance.  Some are lighter/darker than others. 

Knife Information

1894- Mr. Tasaburo Shigematsu, a hardware wholesaler, introduced a new pocket knife with its blade and sheath folded by installing a small handle “Chikiri (tail)” on the blade, while inspired by the knife he brought back from Kagoshima.

He named it “Higonokami Knife” because many of his customers were in Kumamoto area (formally Higo country), which turned out to dramatically increase his sales. The blades have gradually changed their shapes. Unlike single-edged knives, the double-edged blades (V-shaped cross section) were in those days considered common. The earlier blades had a sharper tip (shape of a bamboo leaf), but now they have square shapes. The sheaths had a vertically folding style and a cross folding style, now the vertical one has to be custom made.

In 1911, at the First Kobe Export Articles Competitive Exhibition, Crown Prince (later Emperor Taisho) liked Higonokami on display very much and bought one, which is said to have helped its fame further spread.

The Higonikami is a fantastic traditional utility knife at a low cost.
