In Japan, a person's 80th birthday is commemorated with a special celebration called 傘寿 \/ \u003cem\u003eSanju\u003c\/em\u003e. To celebrate this milestone and his proud achievements as a Master craftsman, Hattori has created the \u003cstrong\u003e傘 SAN-GECKO Limited Edition\u003c\/strong\u003e — a series of very special, strictly limited-production knives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGECKO-34 Classic Utility — The Plain Blade Special Order\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe GECKO-34 is a strictly limited special-order version of Hattori's all-time best-selling \u003cstrong\u003e#3718 Classic Utility\u003c\/strong\u003e.
