New here and reaching out to help identify an old wooden handle fixed blade 1030 series knife.
I believe it to be an original model, before the basic production models were sold.
Am I correct?

Any input is appreciated.
Thanks

Dont know how to post a photo of it.
Looks like a 1035 with a wooden handle.

Sounds correct. Kershaw sent a Gerber fixed blade to Hattori as a basis for the 1035. Hattori's first iteration had wood handles.

Without talking about value (because free-to-plays like me aren't allowed to), it sounds like you have something pretty special, there.

Maybe something in here will answer your question- https://www.hattoricollector.com/2015/09/24/the-kershaws

That is the website of member Ken Hash, who I, and many others consider to be a top authority on Japanese, and Japanese-made knives. If I had a question about a Japanese knife, including Hattori-made knives, I'd want to hear from Mr. Hash. Of course you might need to post a picture first.
