Description

 The ultimate line of knives by the experienced craftsman, Ichiro Hattori with his never compromise character and craftsmanship.

 In the final finishing work, Hattori gives special care to check every detail, blade grinding and polishing flows, warping, angles and handle shaping, fitting etc etc.... Every knife that does not meet with his strict quality standard, is returned to be reworked from the beginning or thrown away.

 His "Never Compromise" attitude to seek the finest workmanship has made him called as "World's Best Knife Craftsman". He was also honored to receive "Excellent Skilled Craftsman Award" from Seki Knife Industrial Association.  

 When you hold his knife in hand and actually use it, you will know and admit that he really deserve it.
