Hattori “The Universe Series WHITE DWARF” SG-II San-Mai Special USG-1WT Gyuto 210mm (White Turquoise Gem-Composite-stone Spacer)

Master Hattori is now 82 years old and is a Grand Master blade smith with over 60 years of knife making experience. He has devoted tremendous time and energy to making the finest knives, which have received praise from knife industry experts from around the world.

As you likely know, Hattori knives – such as the Hattori KD Series Cowry X Damascus Knives and the Hattori Forums FH Series – are recognized as true masterpieces and are praised for being very practical, they are the fruits of Hattori’s many years of experience and hard work.

 We have closely worked with Hattori to create the Hattori “The Universe Series”. These special edition, limited quantity, 210mm San-Mai Gyuto knives utilize the reputable High Quality Japanese Powdered High Speed Tool Steel, SG-II. Master Hattori carefully selected the materials for these San-Mai (Three-piece laminated) knives: The blade is made with an SG-II Powdered High Speed Tool Steel core that is sandwiched between two layers of hard VG-2 stainless steel. This laminated blade construction provides extra strength and durability for the blade and the high carbon VG-2 stainless steel resists scratches and blade warpage. Hattori carefully selected these steel materials to ensure the creation of an efficient, practical knife that offers high cutting performance and excellent edge retention.

For many years, Master Hattori has been convinced that Linen Micarta is one of the most practical and efficient handle materials, so it is not surprising that a number of his famous knife collections —Including the Cowry X Damascus “KD Series” and VG-10 “Hattori FH Series”— have featured Linen Micarta Handles. Linen Micarta Handles provide excellent grip, are relatively strong and durable, and also resist shrinkage. The hand crafted Linen Micarta Handles of these knives are beautifully accented with a White Turquoise Gem-Composite-stone and also feature solid stainless steel bolsters and rivets. Each handle is hand contoured to fit your hand comfortably and, to create the perfect weight balance, the full-width blade tang has been tapered down.

Simple, efficient and beautiful contemporary styling – These are the best words to describe the Hattori Special Edition “The Universe, WHITE DWARF” Gyuto 210mm (White Turquoise Gem-Composite-stone Spacer). The availability of this knife is limited to only 5 Pcs. (Serial No.1 through to No.5).

The Gyuto is the Japanese version of the classic Western Chef’s knife. It can be used with a variety of different cutting techniques to achieve a wide range of kitchen tasks and is suitable for cutting the vast majority of meats, fish, vegetables and fruits. The Gyuto is a true multi-purpose knife.
