The CC042 HIGOTM02 is a mid-sized folder built on classic Japanese principles, with a 2.5" VG-10 stainless blade that holds a keen edge and resists corrosion well enough for regular EDC use. The folded steel handle paired with extended tang construction gives solid mechanical integrity and a traditionally finished feel that develops character over time. At 4.13" closed, it sits in the sweet spot for pocket carry without bulk, making it practical for European users who need reliable everyday steel that won't invite unwanted attention. VG-10 is a proven workhorse blade steel that balances edge retention, ease of maintenance, and real-world durability.

4.13" (10.49cm) closed. 2.5" (6.35cm) VG-10 stainless blade. Folded steel handle. Extended tang. Wooden gift box.
