The Tenable Higonokami delivers modern performance with a bold, work-ready design built for everyday carry. It features a 3.02” D2 tool steel reverse tanto blade finished in a rugged gray coating that adds durability while giving the knife a clean, tactical look. The reverse tanto profile reinforces the tip for excellent piercing strength while maintaining a long, straight cutting edge that handles slicing and utility work with impressive control.
Action is fast and satisfying thanks to the top flipper paired with a ceramic ball-bearing pivot. The blade snaps open smoothly and locks into place with a sturdy stainless steel linerlock that provides solid, dependable lockup. Light Sand G-10 handle scales bring a striking contrast to the gray blade while delivering the durability and grip G-10 is known for. The lightly textured surface ensures confident handling in a variety of conditions, and a stainless steel pocket clip keeps the knife secure and ready for tip-up carry. Measuring 3.92” closed and weighing just 3.42 ounces, the Higonokami is compact, lightweight, and built to handle real daily use.
The knife was designed by Goran Mihajlovic, a Serbian-born bladesmith and wilderness expert who has spent more than 25 years living in the Amazon while based at the Tanimboca Natural Reserve. His extensive time in remote rainforest environments informs his practical approach to knife design. Beyond crafting blades, Mihajlovic also works with national and international film crews as a field production manager, coordinating logistics and operations in demanding jungle locations.
