The HIGO10TATEA is a traditional tateori-style folder built around a 3-inch satin SK5 carbon steel blade, a proven Japanese steel that takes a keen edge and develops character with use. The brass handle with extended tang construction offers solid lockup and a substantial feel in hand, while the compact 4.5-inch closed profile keeps it practical for EDC across Europe. SK5 demands regular maintenance in humid climates, but rewards that care with edge retention and the kind of patina Japanese knife users prize. A boxed, quality-focused piece for those serious about carbon steel and folding knife mechanics.

4.5" (11.43cm) closed. 3" (7.62cm) satin finish SK5 carbon steel blade. Brass handle. Extended tang. Boxed.
