If anyone could be so kind, I would appreciate help in translating. Trying to draw this did not yield much other than 吉 might mean good luck or congratulations

Seller claim it is from Kikuyoshi, that it is a carbon Gyoto, but no other knowledge.

Kanji is 菊吉, Kikuyoshi. I'm not sure what the 4 above it are but it's probably something along the lines of "registered trademark." Doesn't look like they have a website but here are the google search results in Japanese

Just like what you said, the other 4 above is registered trademark.
 
Hi, perhaps someone can help me with this. It's a small eastern-style nakiri I picked up. As far as I understand the seller had a load of old stock from a family cutlers he was selling off after they closed.
I can see it's Ginsan - silver III, but I have not been able to find anything regarding the other kanji.
The seller said it was a bespoke piece for a customer who never collected.

Thanks :)

Not sure on the maker, I'm not good at reading stylized kanji like that, but the small stamp is 三枚打, san-mai da, three piece forged
