And it's KANJI again ...

[milas555]

I bought it, but I don't know what ;-)
After all, Yanagiba Honyaki 330mm for left-handed people is not often found.
Can anyone read these kanji?
Thanks in advance

The two smaller kanji at the top say 'honyaki,' and while the first of the larger kanji is a mess, I'm pretty sure it's Kaneshige. Reads literally - honyaki Sakai Kaneshige made. Compare to this photo:

Thanks, I have to remove the handle (the knife needs "a little" work), maybe I can find the artist's signature on the tang ...

That'd be way cooler than finding rust.

PS.When I come back from vacation I will let you know what I found ...

On the tang I found this ...
Can anyone decipher these "little bushes"?
I will be grateful

Bump,
Please translate the kanji

The kanji part says 正行　作 Masakyuki Saku (made by masayuki).
The marks with the 12, I have no idea what that may be. Is this a tang on a knife?
If this were a cooking knife, there is a Ikeda Masayuki and also a Sakai Masayuki brand. Although their signatures do not look anything like this.
But from the photos I can not tell what we are looking at. Please post a photo of the entire thing.

There is the same beehive-looking design with number (though the # is different) on this Togashi from Hitohira:

As above in the post, the knife is Yanagiba 330mm Honyaki (left-handed) ...

I was curious how much did you pay for this one

You are interested in?
A bit too big for home cooking ...
I replaced the handle, refreshed, polished and .... never used by me

I think this is the front view of a stone kiln.

This is the mark of a Dentoukougeishi 伝統工芸士 and the number represents the craftman number.
Number 38 is Togashi Kenji.
But I have no idea who Number 12 is,
The "bell" like mark contains a Kou 工　character with a staggered vertical line.

Number 12 is Tatsuo Ikeda
