Mikihisa Knives: A Legacy of Japanese Steel

Every Mikihisa knife is a reflection of classic Japanese knife-making values: minimalism, cutting precision, and longevity.

Whether you’re slicing sashimi, performing delicate prep work, or carrying a heritage folding blade, Mikihisa offers tools that blend history with function.

What Makes Mikihisa Knives Stand Out?

• High-Carbon Steels: Often made with Hitachi Blue Steel or White Steel for razor-sharp edges and excellent edge retention.
• Higonokami Folding Knives: Simple, friction-lock folders known for their iconic straight blades and metal handles.
• Natural Materials: Handles often crafted from brass, hardwood, or ironwood, offering both grip and beauty.
• Lightweight and Precise: Ideal for intricate kitchen tasks, detail carving, or refined outdoor work.
