Okay, so I am new to Japanese knives and just got some. Do you guys remove the little sticker on the handle or keep it? Is it like wearing a new suit with the price tag still on?

Stickergate strikes again.
I only leave them on if there is a chance I might resell. The TFs I have were the only ones with stickers and these are keepers so the stickers are history.

I remove the sticker immediately—seems silly to leave them on IMHO.

My process soon after receiving a brand new ho wood wa handle knife includes—remove sticker; sand down handle with a progression of sandpaper; treat with gunstock oil.
 
I spoke with a friend who speaks Japanese and she said it means book, water, cow. What the heck?
