Higonokami Woody VG10 Folder with Blue Gray Wood Handle

The Higonokami Woody VG-10 Blue is a premium Japanese friction folder that pairs the traditional Higonokami format with a VG-10 stainless steel blade and a distinctive blue-gray finger grooved wood handle. VG-10 is a Japanese stainless steel developed specifically for knife blades, delivering excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance that makes it significantly more practical for everyday use than the carbon steel versions when moisture exposure is a concern. At 3 inches the blade handles real cutting tasks comfortably.

The blue-gray finger grooved wood handle is the defining feature of this version. The cool blue-gray tone with natural wood grain variation gives it a refined, understated aesthetic that stands apart from both the warm red version and the standard brass Higonokami models. The finger grooves provide a secure, comfortable grip during use, and the natural wood construction means each handle is slightly unique. Extended tang opening, lanyard hole, and a genuinely pocketable 4.25 inch closed length make it a practical everyday carry as much as a collection piece. At 0.10 lbs it adds nothing to a pocket. Made in Japan. Boxed.

Best for: Traditional Japanese knife collectors, VG-10 blade enthusiasts, everyday carry, gift giving, or anyone who wants a premium Higonokami with stainless steel and a distinctive blue-gray grooved wood handle.
