Rare Hattori Junglee Fighter made by Mr. Ichiro Hattori in Seki Japan.
This is a new knife, never been used. The knife and sheath are is absolute perfect condition.
No international sales. $900 shipped and insured.
If interested I can email additional
close up pictures.
Junglee Knives started in 1985, as the brand name for a group of tooling and machinery companies owned by Mr Shiraz Balolia, who had also acquired the old Gutman name. The unique combination wood/synthetic handle is said to have been designed and patented by S.Balolia himself, who actually holds a great many patents on various designs and machinery. It was available in two sizes, the larger called the "Hattori Fighter" with an OAL of 13.25" and a 7.75" blade, and nickel hilt, which this one is.
Apart from the unique handle, the Junglee Fighters differ from all other Fighter versions in that they had a serrated section on the spine. When manufactured by Hattori , MVS-8 Stainless was used. Back when Junglee Knives had it's own website they explained MVS-8 as "an alloy comprised of .85% Carbon, 14% Chromium, .5% Manganese, .5%. Silicon, 2.5% Molybdenum, .15% Vanadium with a hardness between 57-61RC". The Junglees originally made by Hattori were MVS-8.
Amongst collectors, the original Hattori/Seki made Junglee Fighters are considered much more valuable than the Taiwan made ones, although even the latter ones have also become somewhat rare in recent years.
