Hattori "knife of the year" 2006 and 2009.

[Szb123456]

Hello,
help me please.
I have a Hattori 2006 and 2009 "knife of the year" series.
Could you send me information about them?
For example, what is the material of the blade and the handle?
Thanks,
Zsolt

Some information here:

Hattori Limited Editions – Knife of Year – The Hattori Collector

The very knowledgable gentleman who runs that site is a member here, and will probably help you. K KenHash I believe?

Without detailed knowledge I would suspect that the blades from that era might be AUS 8 steel.

Are these the knives?

If they are, I don't know the steel types, Hattori apparently used a few, but I believe the white material of the handles is White Corian, a synthetic product made by Dupont. The handle of the 2006 HA6-2 also has leather washers and thin, colored synthetic spacers.

Thanks everyone for your help.

When I bought the knife (2006) I read about the handle material, but now I can't find anything about it! He described a lot of different materials, but I don't remember leather. The knife is surprisingly light, but made of hard materials.
The material of 2009 Dupont is possible, it is hard and heavy!
