Studio Ghibli's new movie, The Boy and the Heron, prominently places quite a few traditional Japanese knives, including kitchen knives, a sword, and the boy's pocket knife, a Higonokami. They're a carbon steel friction folder. I just thought it was a vibe seeing it in the movie.
If you want to buy one, fuck Amazon and Chinese copies, go directly to the source!
Edit: higonokami-knife.com may be less legit than others. See comment
Haven’t seen the movie but I’m in the market for a pocket knife, and that looks as cool as anything I’ve ever seen. I’m sold but all of my credit cards ran out of my wallet to hide when I opened the website.
Edit: Got it anyway. Card didn’t remove themselves from PayPal :) I didn’t think there was any chance they were going to Use PayPal, even if they did, I would have assumed it would have to be done as a “gift to a friend”. I’ll be opening packages in major style for the rest of my life ✌️ And I gotta see this movie, I stopped looking for Hayao Miyazaki films a long time ago, I didn’t hear about this one. Or maybe I did, didn’t realize who was behind it and assumed it was just another Netflix anime. Spirited Away and Howl’s Moving Castle were 2 of my favorite movies. I could have sworn I was a kid when I first saw them but, now that I see the IMDB, they were just early 2000’s. I was in my 20’s :)
I see you updated the post to say that site might not be quite legit. I got mine today and visibly, it’s as advertised, however I have no clue how to authenticate any other claims they’ve made, such as the source and exactly what it’s made out of. Any ideas what I could look at to verify?
Either way, I’m happy with what I got for the price even if the story is bullshit. I was able to use PayPal properly (no “gift to a friend” bs I’ve seen on other scammy sites). The price on the site is the price, no additional shipping cost (it did ship from Japan), no tax (that might be a bit sus). It got here in 2 weeks, and it’s as sharp as a thing can be as far as I’m concerned. My only complaint is it’s really stiff out of the box (I was afraid I was going to slip and cut myself trying to open it) but after watching a few videos talking about them, I think that might be by design as they seem to be applying about the same amount of force I am. Also, I’ve never had a knife that opens like this so it’s probably mostly just my fear of the unknown, and I’m already getting used to it.

Great to hear, I’d expect nothing less from a Jet Set Radio remake.
