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.

Insanely sharp! Wonderful in hand. Needs some force to open/close but that does not bother me

Not very well suited for pocket carry due to the long pointy locking prong, but it finds a natural place in a tool belt, tool roll or pencil case, perfect for gardening work, flower arranging and things of that nature. The steel is fairly hard, so something like a dual grit foldable diamond sharpener is recommended.

Excellent little knife, well suited for light pruning tasks in the garden. The hinge was a bit stiff when new, but after adding some light oil and working the blade back and forth for a little while, the action is just as I like it. Factory edge was very sharp and kept its edge reasonably well. Very easy to sharpen.
