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!

When you watch Mononoke Hime, be sure to find a fansub for the original Japanese audio. Miramax (aka Disney) censored the giving of the knife pendant scene for no reason other than puritanical BS, and thereby gutted its reappearance in the third act. 🤌🏼

It's even better once you know that, because sugar gliders are marsupials, they don't have a rodent scent and so very rarely trigger a predation response in cats or dogs. We have one (his bff passed from old age, but this one's tenacious [both rescues; please don't buy them]) who all but rules the entirety of our pet population (dogs & cats, plural). I swear, it's gonna come down to either AI overlords, or this undying Slappy-as-a-glider. 😶
