Fusachika 270mm gyuto made with "alloy steel" ?

Hi KKF,

I picked up this big 270mm gyuto from an auction.
But I have difficulty finding any information at all about the manufacturer and their product lines.
I especially want to understand which type a steel was used.

This is from a vendor site I found:

合金鋼: does this mean alloyed steel? It's pretty vague...
I would like to know if they used regular stainless for knives (Fe+Cr+Mo+Va?) or more specialized VG or SK steels series.

Additionally, if anyone has something to add concerning the brand: 房近 / Fusachika, I would also be interested.

Cheers!

I guess I am calling anyone who can read Japanese

I guess you may get better results by naming the thread something like 'help with kanji'...good luck

Google translator gives you entirely different result for the kanji reading, when you set it to chinese instead of japanese or vice versa.
