Full description
The Ohta FK5 higonokami pocket knife was designed and made by hand by Hiroaki Ohta. This Japanese knifemaker's design bears close resemblance to the famous Higonokami knives. Strictly speaking, it isn't a Higonokami knife because there is only one producer that can use the term Higonokami.

A lovely little knife. Always like friction folders and this doesn't disappoint. D2 so nice hard blade that will stay sharp. The extended tang means no worries if it closing on you. Only downsides are the sheath is just a pocket carry item, and the pivot is really tight, and as it's riveted, you can't really change it, would have been better to be a screw. So get a belt loop in there and make pivot adjustable and it's perfect
