The Tenable Higonokami delivers sleek everyday performance with a design that blends classic inspiration and modern materials. It features a 3.02” D2 tool steel reverse tanto blade with a rugged stonewash finish that helps disguise wear while maintaining a tough, work-ready look. The reverse tanto profile provides impressive tip strength and controlled cutting precision, giving you a blade that’s equally capable of detailed slicing or heavier everyday cutting tasks.
Fast, responsive action comes from the top flipper paired with a ceramic ball-bearing pivot, allowing the blade to deploy smoothly and confidently with a quick flick. Once open, a sturdy stainless steel linerlock keeps the blade securely in place, providing dependable lockup during use. The handles are crafted from jade G-10, offering lightweight strength and a translucent look that adds a modern edge to the knife’s appearance. The textured surface provides a secure grip, while a stainless steel pocket clip ensures reliable tip-up carry when you’re on the move. Measuring 3.92” closed and weighing 3.42 ounces, the Higonokami strikes a practical balance between portability and everyday capability.
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 experience in remote rainforest environments informs his practical knife designs. In addition to crafting blades, Mihajlovic works with national and international film crews as a field production manager, managing logistics and operations in challenging jungle locations.
