Silvered Higo Knife

By far our go-to knife.

A perfectly-sized (4" closed, 7 1/2" open) Japanese-made Higonakami knife, with brass, silvered handle and blue-paper steel blade. Hand-made (Japan) and hand-finished at our shop here in Dallas; no two will look the same.  

The blue-paper steel produces a very sharp edge, easily honed as necessary.  If you live in more humid areas or use it on fruit, a drop of oil every once in a while won't hurt.
