XTHTSKFB: Hattori Super Diver (HT-SK) Fixed Blade Knife

Hattori

The Hattori Super Diver (Model HT-SK) is a legendary example of minimalist Japanese engineering, designed for professionals who require maximum utility with zero bulk. While this silhouette is often associated with the brands Hattori manufactured for - most notably the Tekna Ocean Edge - the "Super Diver" is the pure, original expression of Ichiro Hattori's vision from his Seki City workshop. Forged from a single billet of AUS-6 stainless steel, the HT-SK eliminates traditional handle scales in favor of a skeletonized frame. This not only reduces weight for diving and survival applications but also makes the tool incredibly easy to clean and maintain in harsh saltwater environments.

The 3.5-inch blade features a symmetrical dagger profile with precision hollow grinds - a hallmark of Hattori’s "Never Compromise" standard of craftsmanship. Unlike the lower-grade steels found in mass-market dive tools, the AUS-6 used here is heat-treated to a Rockwell hardness of 57-58, providing a balance of toughness and edge retention that allows it to function as a legitimate utility or boot knife on land. Secured in a proprietary "Speed-Lok" ABS sheath, the Super Diver remains one of the most recognizable and respected tools in the history of Japanese cutlery.
