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. 🤌🏼
