Those are some incredible knives! I love Hattori but it is really hard to find them here in Canada.

I bet you will like this one?

Sadly I only have a photo.

Most people could have nice knives or a nice car if that was what they chose to spend their money and time on. I don't make much cash but I keep my expenses low and spend about half if not more of my discretionary funds on knives.
I also try to be smart about it. I love user Busse's. I saw a nice user FBM go for 325$ on BF. Ergo handled knives are still cheap(relativly anyway).


More Hattori Pron

This ebony handled fighter had me making long distance phomne calls to Japan looking for one.

Here is another SOG style one but more traditional. I love blued knives.


It seems like Hattori produce more knives for other companies than they do for their own line.

Interesting sheath on that last bowie.


That Woodlore is an excellent knife as well. It is one of those knives you need for a collection because it started the whole trend of bushcraft knives.
Another knife you would need for a serious bushcraft collection (whicjh I also don't have) is the Skookum. Skookum country is just over a bit from me in Alberta and is exactly the same kind of wilderness. The knife was designed to be a custom version of the Woodlore designed by Mors Kochanski for that type of terrain.


Mors has an excellent quote as to what a bush knife should be. I will try to find it.

You can see that the knife has a plate welded to the back of the handle so it can be hammered on or with.
