Description

Master Hattori became 80 years old. In Japan, a person’s 80th birthday is commemorated with a special celebration called 傘寿 / Sanjyu. To celebrate his special anniversary year, and also his proud achievements as a Master craftsman, Hattori has decided to produce a Special Limited Edition Collection of knives called the 傘 San Series. Each item in this special limited edition collection will be marked with a Serial No.

The Hattori 傘 San Series knife collection will feature special, very limited production models, which Master Hattori can no longer produce in large quantites due to the rarity or limited availability of handle materials or blade materials.

This is the 50th version of Hattori "SAN" Limited edition" cerebrating his 80th year old anniversary. He has selected Tanto/Katana design style blade.

SAN-50 KATANA is produced and available with only 1Pc. The design concepts for this  model were "Simplicity", "Practicality" and "Japanese Spirit".

The Double Bevel Edge Tanto / Katana blade is hollow ground, semi-mirror polished, VG-10 stainless steel. The Linen Micarta handle with solid Nickel Silver is Hand Contoured to maximize comfort. Each knife comes with a black Leather sheath, a fancy gift box, a decorative Japanese Nishijin Textile Pouch. The knife comes with  傘 SAN etching on the blade and Presentation box.
