Mame 40mm/1.57" Nagaokanekoma, Japanese mini pocket knife

This is a great little knife, it opens and closes easily and has no issues so far. it came very sharp and I have not yet felt the need to sharpen it myself. I have used it for the normal thread cutting problems at work, I have open boxes with it, helped peal an orange and I pried a couple Heroclix figures off their base to use in another game. it is just a handy knife and since it opens one handed I go for it more than for my Victorinox Tinker that I have carried since 1994. it is also a great conversation starter; when people see it they always ask 'What is that?"

Cool little knife. It sharpens well and holds an edge. It was small enough to attach to my keychain. There is no locking mechanism though so I wrapped a little black o-ring around it to keep it from coming open in my pocket. It is convenient to always have a knife with me.

A nice small and sharp pocket knife for all around use. Really well made blade in a metal handle and sheath. The design is easy to open and great for opening boxes, cutting string or plastic tie wraps. 5 stars for now. Will update depending upon long the blade holds or edge and if it can be resharpened.

extremely well made pocket knife ,the downside I've found though is that it is too small , i guess i didnt read close enough at desc. to see actual size ,if it were 1/2 again larger it would be my absolute favorite pokcket tool,its comfortable ,easy opening/closing ,and sharpening if ever you need , as it is made with good ,hard steel wrapped w/ another type as a spine or reinforcer to the edge, as it is ,it still has a near surgical edge on it ,from out of the box . Absolute , fantastic deal ,just nearly perfect.

They're inexpensive, sharp out of the box, and great to keep around for a quick cutting jobs like mail and boxes. A step up from my collection of box cutters. I don't feel bad if I lose one of these in the field (or occasionally in a pocket going through airport security), and I hope if people find them, they appreciate them too!

Cool knife but it was too small. The product description doesn't really do justice to how small this knife is.

One of the best hand-made knives one can get. This is not a cheap China-made blade. Made in Japan by hand, by a re-known and humble craftsman. The brass handle and Japanese inscription on it is a nice bonus. I gifted the smaller version of this to my Mom - she loves using it for her craft projects. OOooooos

Maybe mine is an imposter. Maybe I expected too much based on the other reviews I read. Mine came in a plastic sleeve, like I would expect from a Chinese made gas station knife. The blade isnt close to sharp, and maybe it can be honed to be sharp, but I doubt I’ll take the time, since I have other, better options for a keyring knife. Nowhere close to the mini-samurai hype. Disappointed after all the 5 star reviews I read here and the positive online reviews I saw, but at least I’m only out $11 - you do get what you pay for, as I am continually reminded.
