Higo No Kami Knife Review. A $20 hand made friction folder from Japan 

This is one of my top 5 pissing reply guys off videos.

Advanced Knife Bro well you're doing something right. I'm only mildly interested in knives but here I am subscribed, looking for more of your awesome sarcastic voodoo to watch.

So boring I watched the whole thing, then subscribed.

@@AdvancedKnifeBro Lol!

+Charlie Doyle true dat!

deep

ok kekra

Wow🤔

Unless you're in nam

Do you know anything about the ones with a hole on the "thumb pad" (?) Being handmade blades? Ive read that the hole can be bored because he can use a softer steel there, while the machined stamped blades have the same steel on its whole

+Levon yeah and it only takes a few minutes

secure them?... the don't really open in the pocket, i've carried a fake one for years, and i'm carrying a legit one for a few months now

Many similar products were made for Higonokami. Cheap ones cost less than 80 Japanese yen or one dollar, and they were not very well made.@@menkiboj

Reminds me of my childhood in the early 70s. Almost every boy had one or two. These were much cheaper them and affordable for the kids.

Got a link [YT doesn't like links I hear] or a seller name for the "family store"?

+mythrol that’s what happened to me!

I JUST BOUGHT 4 ON WATCHING THIS ... oh the power of suggestion..

Same :D

I hear' ya, but frankly then what's the point of having a so-called 'good knife'... unless today's supersteel and ball-bearing mounted wunderblades have mostly become just for 'show'??

@@LowenKM the good knife is for when you need a fine brunoise or solid chiffonade, I'm not gonna cut a dirty horseradish with my $250 petty or my $500 shun. I'll just blast through it with something cheap and sturdy

​@@User-pc5xeThe strong knife exists to do the duties that don't need a strong knife. Okay.

+korling99 a knife comedian... a type where only a few people get the jokes. Thanks man!

+13BRAVO REDLEG good idea!

knives dull no matter what, if yours doesnt need sharpening, your not even using it

@@kevinmorrice Mine seem to get dull just by sitting around.

The steel used in these blades can get very sharp but are softer metals, so they tend to get dull alot more often

@@willgagner8302 the carbon steel has hrc 60

+Kombinatsiya that it is!

I actually got mine for $6 😋

Ohta knives with beautiful wood and D2 steel are made by Mr Ohta himself as close to a custom knife i can get.You pay 50 dollars but they are worth it.I also have several Higonokami's.I like them both.I'm from Belgium but don't know what knife you're talking about

@@ZaiFuchigami 6? Where? I just found at 25+ on amazon, also platinum, gold and black colors idk what to choose

+Fitz Mouse I’ll check it out!

Just bought the opinel no 8... and douk douk... a few people have been asking about these so I finally caved. I've been wanting an Opinel for a while. The Higo is kind of rough around the edges though. I get that the guy can't really pay attention to QC... but something that was a little bit nicer would be ummm... nice?

Yeah there is no way if only one guy that has to come up with tons of knives everyday that he will have time to do good qc. The Douk Douk are very similar with the higo, look forward for the review.

Thanks!

+Buck Pucker lucky!

XD 10 lol

10? From Amazon? Huh sounds iffy!

Silent Thunder Ordnance pretty sure that's not correct. Super Blue, which spyderco has used in sprint runs, is a stainless modern super steel. The "blue paper" steel is non-stainless carbon steel.

Actually Spyderco's "super blue" is not a stainless steel and, by looking at it's composition which you can find on Spyderco's website, you'd have to have a pretty generous definition of "super steel" to include it in that category as well. 1.40-1.50% carbon, 0.30-0.50% chromium, few other alloys at less than .5%. Only thing that really jumps out is 2.00-2.50% tungsten. It looks like a recipe for a really great simple carbon blade steel which is a step up from your basic white steel that has very similar composition minus the chromium and tungsten IIRC. Don't take my word for it though, look it up on Spyderco's website.

Silent Thunder Ordnance you're right my bad, I just read that too. Thanks for the correction man!

No worries mate. I mix steels up all the time too. Too many frigging letters and numbers. :P

Silent Thunder Ordnance I'm gonna start using the Hitachi method to name all my knives. Hmm... should I carry the Brown Cardboard knife, the Black Cardboard knife, or maybe the Red & Black Cardboard knife today?

+porkbap55 thanks man! Less ashy!

Chinese copy.

I bought the white steel version from bladehq just now, where did you buy yours from? Might be a knock off?

I'm trying to hit all the bizarre international knives.

+Mike Sharratt thanks man!

+Ryan a few buckets!

+Rebuswind I have seen those rocksteads... I would not say no to a mysterious person buying me one!

+Tovarish Works cheap side???

Yes it would. There seem to be higher end versions by different companies, but I don't like playing the $50 knife lottery- to see if I get a better one.

There are modernized automatic flipper versions of this. They also have a liner lock

Thanks man!

+lowwkey91 Advanced History Bro has a nice ring to it. Everyone knows I use Advanced ironically right???

+David Thompson ha ha. I feel like this is the place where most of them end up

+Eric White takes an edge well!

I have been hammered on BLVDs quite a few times. Love the single wide and double wide.

+Ben Galvin Oh you know!

He learned it on BladeForums

+ShearMeZ and now you know!

@@shawnpatrick1877 Well any knife blade can be made "exceptionally sharp and good for work". LOL! And that may well "be one of the most ignorant things I've ever read" too. The one I was gifted WAS sharp and held an edge (just like many many knives can do-I know, astonishing!), but the rivet eventually loosed up, and the brass handle bent when I attempted to tighten it; also the thumb hold developed a crack at the base after normal use of a couple years...Gosh, maybe I just got a bad one?

+Steve Lewis sure...

,,Batoning" is not important. :) Knife is a cutting tool and really handsome little pal. :) Its functions and possibilities are unlimited and the smart guy will know what to do with him in every situation. :D Preferably in the kitchen, camp or for fishing.

Thanks man!

+Jacco E I say that a lot too

buuzzzinnnnggg

+Fritz Stewart rimshot!

+Kilted Craft Works Red Wing Beckmans. I love them. Had them for a few years now. They’re a little rough to break in for the first few weeks- but the leather has held up well to abuse.

+Eddie King the vapors!

Oh yeah- no jimping.

Those Opinels are nice!

+Blao I’ll look into it. Almost bought one today- might get one after I get the opinel no 8

Be sure to get the carbon steel, the stainless steel version is low quality (440A)

Cool

+Eric Kidwell Perfect! They’ll love it over there!

+Steve Kluver naw... that’s character!

So that's a feature, and not a bug? : - )

I like to give neutral thoughts about something... and let my viewers decide unless I really like it. Those are all great knives... but I also like the Benchmade Crooked River, the K2, and the Endura 4. There's also the 0770... but my main carries are all those knives you mentioned.

I have pretty good collection if you want some loaners for your channel. 6097132064. No battoning lol

+Gary Dioquino the other one... the Beckmans

+Rush I think they’re way overblown personally... I don’t scrutinize things with a microscope when I buy them. I have many knives where blade centering isn’t perfect- and Benchmade doesn’t seem to be any worse than those

Yay!

+Mitchell Delmar totally agree. I really only need one knife and light... but well, here we are. Yeah and people... yeesh.

Yeah, we're a crazy lot alright.

+Daffa Wiratama I wonder if it can open a beer? No beer in the house for the test right now

+ropes channel i tend to watch normal stuff you’d think I like- walking dead, Game of thrones, and stranger things. Caught up on all of those

I miss the good ole days of Billy Mayes

+ropes channel what’s your favorite TV show... “I generally stick to vintage billy mays infomercials”

Advanced Knife Bro I know this is late and Cedric has already done a vid on it but have you seen the LAPG TBFK knife in S35vn for 35$?? It seems it would be worth it to pay a bit extra for that than to get a 20$ ganzo(which I still love)

Redwing Beckmans!

You got taste! 👌🏽 you should review boots too. I bet you’d go into more detail then most plus with your humor, it would definitely be a good watch.
