The first Higonokami pocket knives were made in the Japanese city of Miki as early as 1896. After the last samurai were forbidden to carry swords in public, many blacksmiths started making knives. At that time, Higo no Kami was a title of honour for particularly powerful samurai and it quickly developed into the name for the knives produced there. Since then, the construction of the classic Higo has hardly changed. The handle is usually made of a single piece of folded metal, and the knife is opened by a blade spur (chikiri) on the back of the blade. The pressure on the lever when holding the knife keeps the blade open.
