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.

For the hand contoured "Two-Tone" Custom Handmade Handle, he carefully selected some of the best, most unique, durable and strong materials: The left-hand side of the handle features Black Micarta and the right-hand side features Deep Blue Lapis Gem-Composite Stone.
