  • Higonokami ;

    I'm getting married next year and I was thinking a nice gift for groomsmen would be a nice simple gentleman's knife with their initials on...

    I don't want to break the bank on anything too wildly expensive (the Böker Wasabi would be absolutely perfect otherwise) and I was thinking a higonokami would be a nice choice.

    Has anyone any other nice recommendations or any opinions as to whether the steel or brass handled versions would be the nicer choice?

  • Higonokami

    Is there a particular reason you want one of them in particular?

    I've never used one, but they don't look very useful, although a blunt one would make a lovely desk letter opener... which would actually make a nice groomsmen gift now I think about it.

    Also I can't recall every reading a follow-up Internet post a year or two down the line praising them.

    I reckon a engraved No. 8 in a nice box with a note would be a better shout.

    That's sort of what I was after...

    I just think they're a very nice simple, minimalist design. Also as lovely as they are any time I've owned an Opinel I've found the pointiness of the blade a bit of a nuisance for me and I've always preferred a much straighter blade on any knife I've owned.
