Americana Pipedream Apparel

The Higonokami knife has a storied history that dates back to the late 19th century in Japan. It originated in the Hyogo prefecture, specifically in the town of Miki, which was renowned for its blacksmithing tradition. The name "Higonokami" is a tribute to the Higo province, where the knife first gained popularity, and "kami," which means "god" or "protector." #history #japan

Replying to @Chief Keef You are the man, maintaining your tools is extremely important for longevity and functionality. If you want your higonokami to last, its extremely important to maintain the blade and the knife itself. The easiest way is to oil it often and use a sharpening stone to keep the blade sharp. We have oil instock on our site! During the Meiji period (1868-1912), these folding pocket knives became synonymous with Japanese craftsmanship. They were often carried by farmers, craftsmen, and the former samurai class due to their practicality and versatility. The Higonokami knife was a symbol of utility and reliability in the daily lives of the Japanese people.

🇺🇸 Did you know the US military tested and issued 26 different types of gloves during WWI? Now you do! USGI Fingerless Gloves are in stock at AP. During World War I, the U.S. military developed and tested 26 types of gloves and mittens to protect soldiers in harsh battlefield conditions. Early in the war, standard issue gloves included leather riding gloves for mounted troops, wool gloves for winter wear, and durable horsehide work gloves for engineers and machine gunners. As the war progressed, the Army introduced specialized gloves, such as barbed wire handling gloves, which protected soldiers’ hands while installing or cutting razor-sharp wire. Gas-resistant mittens were also developed to shield against mustard gas burns, though full five-finger gas gloves only became available after the Armistice. Soldiers used a mix of materials, including leather, wool, flannel, and canvas, depending on their duties and climate conditions. Proper hand coverings proved essential for maintaining dexterity, warmth, and protection in the trenches. Cold weather and extreme battlefield conditions pushed further glove innovations. The Army issued fur-lined mittens and gauntlets originally designed for arctic use to soldiers stationed in frigid regions. Motorcyclists and drivers received long winter gauntlets to shield their hands from cold wind and rain while operating open vehicles. By 1918, the Army had developed hybrid gloves combining leather exteriors for durability with wool linings for warmth. These gloves helped prevent frostbite and ensured soldiers could continue handling weapons and equipment in freezing conditions. While not every experimental glove saw widespread distribution, these advancements significantly improved soldier comfort and safety. Many of these designs influenced later military glove development in future conflicts.
