Anyone else watch the new Ghibli movie and want the knife?

@edc

Studio Ghibli’s new movie, The Boy and the Heron, prominently places quite a few traditional Japanese knives, including kitchen knives, a sword, and the boy’s pocket knife, a Higonokami. They’re a carbon steel friction folder. I just thought it was a vibe seeing it in the movie.

If you want to buy one, fuck Amazon and Chinese copies, go directly to the source!

    Haven’t seen the movie but I’m in the market for a pocket knife, and that looks as cool as anything I’ve ever seen. I’m sold but all of my credit cards ran out of my wallet to hide when I opened the website.

    Edit: Got it anyway. Card didn’t remove themselves from PayPal :) I didn’t think there was any chance they were going to Use PayPal, even if they did, I would have assumed it would have to be done as a “gift to a friend”. I’ll be opening packages in major style for the rest of my life ✌️ And I gotta see this movie, I stopped looking for Hayao Miyazaki films a long time ago, I didn’t hear about this one. Or maybe I did, didn’t realize who was behind it and assumed it was just another Netflix anime. Spirited Away and Howl’s Moving Castle were 2 of my favorite movies. I could have sworn I was a kid when I first saw them but, now that I see the IMDB, they were just early 2000’s. I was in my 20’s :)
