Description

This year, 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.

Cocobolo wood has a rich red-brown color and a beautiful, unique natural woodgrain pattern. Hattori's fine handwork can be seen in the perfectly shaped, hand contoured, custom handles.

This is the 4th version of Hattori "SAN" Limited edition" celebrating his 80th year old anniversary. He has selected one of his best seller models of Japanese Traditional Tanto style knife, and used premium quality Desert Ironwood for the handle, and produced only 40 pieces with serial numbers engraved on the bolster, 傘　SAN etching on the blade and Presentation box.

Hattori SAN-4 Limited Cowry-X Damascus Tanto has unique reverse blade tip Tanto made of Hattori's exclusive Cowry-X Damascus, Cowry-X powdered tool steel core forge layered Nickel and Stainless Damascus steel (30 layeres on each side), 4" Tanto style blade with sharp Kiridashi tip and swedge on back, 4" Hand rounded premium Desert Ironwood handle with solid Brass Hilt and Buttcap, Hidden tang, Comes with Brown leather sheath, and Gift box with "Sanjyu 80 year anniversary message and gold label.
