The Tenable Higonokami brings refined craftsmanship and modern performance together in a sleek everyday folder that commands attention the moment it’s in hand. The 3.02” reverse tanto blade is forged from stunning Water Ripple Damascus, creating a flowing layered pattern that gives each blade a distinctive look while delivering sharp, reliable cutting performance. The reinforced reverse tanto tip offers excellent strength for piercing tasks, while the long cutting edge handles everyday slicing with smooth precision.
Deployment is quick and satisfying thanks to the top flipper paired with a ceramic ball-bearing pivot. The blade glides open with crisp, responsive action and locks securely into place with a sturdy stainless steel linerlock, giving you confidence through every cut. Twill carbon fiber handle scales bring a sleek, high-tech feel to the knife, combining lightweight strength with an eye-catching woven pattern that reflects light with subtle depth. The textured carbon fiber offers a secure grip without adding unnecessary weight, while a stainless steel pocket clip keeps the knife ready for reliable tip-up carry. Measuring 3.92” closed and weighing just 3.42 ounces, the Higonokami offers an ideal balance of portability and cutting power.
The design comes from 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 time in remote rainforest environments has shaped 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 deep in the jungle.
