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.

This is the 22nd version of Hattori "SAN" Limited edition" celebrating his 80th year old anniversary. He has selected the discontinued Seki-Cut Wild Hunter model with VG-10 Damascus blade and premium Sambhar Stag handle, and produced only 12 pieces with 傘SAN etching on the blade and Presentation box. Serial #01 to #12.
