This functional foldable knife necklace gives you access to a [miniature weapon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/z3ro-mini-knife) at any time.

The [Higonokami](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/allday-goods-x-outsiders-store-knife) Pocket Knife Mame from Hand-Eye Supply is made from the traditional Japanese Higonokami method, making the knife super small and super sharp. The hand-forged blade was made in the same way as the swords of the former Samurai soldiers, but with a pocket quality that was popular in the country in the 20th century.

The 1.5 inch white steel blade fits into a brass sheet. The foldable knife has a punched hole to hang on the black leather string, but could also be attached to keys, a lanyard or a cellphone as a charm. This personal accessory is ideal for opening boxes, mail or fruit.
