Why is this here?

Merge this with Pocket Knife, and stop making separate pages for everything just because it exists in Japan.

??? There are tons of articles about different types of pocketknife, and the higonokami is a distinct particular type of knife with a particular history and cultural role. Your question is like asking why the hundreds of articles about different brands/styles of guitar aren't just merged into Guitar.

As for the ridiculous personal attack, feel free to message me with some specific examples of any non-Notable articles I've made "just because it exists in Japan." MatthewVanitas (talk) 20:55, 28 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If that's your idea of a "ridiculous personal attack" then you need to put down the Pocky and go outside more. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.121.230.31 (talk) 12:11, 11 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Glad to find this entry[edit]

The article states that Higonokami is a 'type' of pocket knife. I have heard talk that Higonokami actually refers to the original family who made the knives (and currently owns the trademark). Could you expand on that MatthewVanitas? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Quash-asia (talk • contribs) 19:23, 6 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

What?[edit]

"A distinguishing feature is that the blade has a flat grind without a secondary bevel." I don't know what that means. If it means what it sounds like it means, then the image provided contradicts it. It sounds like it's saying the flat ground blade is just ground down to a sharp edge without the normal 10-20deg bevel that makes up the actual cutting edge of the knife. I don't see how that would work, but that's what it sounds like it's saying to me. And I can clearly see a normal beveled edge on at least one of those knifes. If it means something else, I don't know what, and those look like pretty standard knife blades to me, except the point shape.

Wondered about this, too. Even if it meant that the blade is only beveled on one side, this could only be true for the early design. The Homepage of the original manufacturer makes it very clear that the current blade's cross-section is V-shaped. Maybe the author meant that the bevel or "flat grind" is not concave or "hollowed out" if you will - like say a traditional razor blade? 2003:CA:3F0A:2049:5CC4:5E50:F110:5439 (talk) 09:34, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
