The Tenable Higonokami packs bold styling and serious cutting performance into a compact everyday folder that’s ready to work. Its 3.02” D2 tool steel reverse tanto blade features a rugged blackwashed finish that helps conceal wear while adding a tactical edge to the design. The reverse tanto profile delivers outstanding piercing strength with a reinforced tip and plenty of straight cutting edge, giving you precise control for daily tasks while still handling tougher cutting chores with ease.
Deployment is fast and satisfying thanks to the top flipper riding on a smooth ceramic ball-bearing pivot. The blade snaps open with authority and locks securely in place with a dependable stainless steel linerlock, giving you confidence through every cut. Purple Micarta handle scales provide a comfortable, grippy feel that improves with use while bringing a distinctive, eye-catching look to the knife. A stainless steel pocket clip keeps the Higonokami secure and ready for quick access, and the knife measures 3.92” closed while weighing just 3.42 ounces—easy to carry but built to perform.
The design comes from Goran Mihajlovic, a Serbian-born bladesmith and wilderness expert who has spent more than 25 years living and working deep in the Amazon at the Tanimboca Natural Reserve. Alongside his knife designs, Mihajlovic works with national and international film crews as a field production manager, guiding logistics and operations in remote jungle environments where reliability matters most.
