The HIGO17 is a traditional Japanese folding knife built around a 3.5 inch blade of blue paper Damascus steel, a high-carbon material prized for its edge retention and distinctive layered aesthetic. Brass handles with bamboo etching and a lanyard hole give it authentic character, while the extended tang construction adds structural integrity to this 4.75 inch closed package. This is a working folder for users who appreciate Japanese bladesmithing over modern tactical trends, backed by presentation in a wooden box. Suited to food prep, general cutting tasks, and collectors valuing heritage over novelty.
