Hattori Knives

Ichiro Hattori, 71 years old craftsman, was involved with knife making at the age of 18 when he joined his father's knife company "Masahiro". In 1971, he opened his own workshop and started producing high quality Hunting knives for brands including Kershaw, Browning, Beretta, Tekna, SOG, Cold Steel etc.

His fine works were quickly recognized in the U.S. market as custom quality knives with detailed hand work. This reputation came from his nature to seek the finest workmanship without any compromises. In 1993, he has entered into the domestic market with his own name and line, and instantly captured Japanese knife users as the finest Hunting knives ever offered in Japan.
