Hey everyone! First post ever in an online community! I have perused the kitchen knife knowledge section and didn't see a match to the kanji on my knife. I was wondering if anyone recongnized it. Much thanks in advance!

Ok thanks! Any ideas about the steel? I got this at a rummage sale so I know nothing about it.
