Description

A few years ago, 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 his proud achievements as a Master craftsman, Hattori decided to produce a Special Limited Edition Collection of knives called the 傘 San series. 

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

This is the 101st release in the Hattori "SAN" Limited Edition series, which celebrates his 80th year. For the SAN-101, Master Hattori chose the "Little Fisherman's Utility" model.Master Hattori chose to use the rare Black Micarta handle. Over 30 years ago, Master Hattori discovered this unique Micarta and has been using this material for the Little Fisherman's Utility for many years.  This is last 3Pcs of "Little Fisherman's Utility with "that distinctive Black Micarta Handle version". Micarta is a durable, water-resistanct composit material that is very practical for  knife handles. Each handle is carefully contoured by hand to ensure that it fits your hand comfortably and the full tang is taper ground to reduce weight and perfect balance. Comes with a Gift box with "Sanjyu 80 year anniversary message and gold label.
