Ichiro Hattori - HA-02 Fisherman’s Lover

[Draac]

I had to buy at least one hand made knife from Mr. Ichiro Hattori, although one of his cheaper ones for sale. It's hand made by him and he is 70 years old amd what craftsmanship. I would have like to go for his best but I guess I'll be happy with this one. It's from the same site I bought the other knife in this forum from. http://www.japaneseknifedirect.com/Hattori.html

A Little about Mr. Ichiro Hattori and this knife:

In 1971, he has opened his own workshop and started producing high quality Hunting knives for export with buyers brands including Kershaw, Browning, Beretta, Tekna etc.

That is a fine looking knife; obviously high quality construction thru and thru.
