Help needed for Hiragana

[dreamwalker]

Hello folks-

GREETINGS!

I recently just aquired a new gyuto but not able to identify the brand ,because the character on the blade is not Kanji but Hiragana I think.

Please let me if you know what brand is that or any information will be greatly appreciated!

Hope everyone have a wonderful and safe holiday weekend!!

Thanks in advance!
Mike

Pretty sure I figured it out. Looks to be made by Yasuragi-kobo
You can google やすらぎ包丁 and go to images and you can find similar knives, some at retailers some on the shops Facebook

I think they changed their stamp though? This older FB post from the shop uses the same stamp, but scrolling their site it looks like everything is stamped in kanji now, but some retailers still have kana stamps
This item definitely has the same stamp as your knife though

Yeah, I did not know they had change the brand stamp from Kanji to Hiragana now.
I purchased this gyuto which support to have 盛重作 on the blade but I received the knife with やすらぎ on it.......
