I've held a few of them at Seattle Cutlery. Nothing special. Iirc it's VG10 with damascus that costs more than a honyaki.Thanks, thought was Tojiro but wasn't sure. Anyone ever tried a high end Tojiro?

Knifewear sells it under Sugimori brand, it's hand-forged Damascus Vg10 with micarta handle. Beefier than normal Tojiro, but I don't know about the edge retention. I think it was forged by Toomo-sanThanks, thought was Tojiro but wasn't sure. Anyone ever tried a high end Tojiro?
Can someone help me with this? my Kanji reading is not on N1 level yet..
behind
Thank you
Yeah, because I see the seller also sell another Yanagiba and Deba with Gokujyo kanji in white 3, so I'm just gonna take his word for it. The white 3 one has a shabby Fit and Finish, and this one is just really nice.note that Gokujyo on a lot of Yanagiba knives are usually white 3 steel
Do you know who is the main dealer for Gokujyo? is it usually Sakai Kikumori (Kawamura Hamono) or any other brand also have it.
Do you know how bad is their white 3 Deba? or it's similar to their white 2?
Nothing on this one? Thanks in advance!And the last one in a while. Help is again, much appreciated:

I see, thank you for your infogokujyo is not a brand it’s a generic stamp that gets out in. You see this down a lot with blue 2 steel or Yasuki Hagane as well.
I have never held a brand new deba by that maker.
Can anyone help me with this one, please? Bought at Union Commerce in Tokyo about 10yrs ago, the name of the maker has completely gone from my mind. Thanks!
The first pic looks like the kanji for Shigefusa, however something about it looks a bit off... looks too big, and the cladding on the knife doesn't look like Shigefusa. Hopefully others that know more about the history of Shig kanji can chime in.Hi, i see that you all can help me as well Got some info from a package but can't find much about as it's so generic
Edit:typo
McMan thank you for your reply
Since last post found more of them, looks like a broken set of some sort.
Looks like that Kanji on Shigefusa is close but quality of those doesn't seem right maybe its just some old stuff.
What about this one (I know, crappy picture and faded signs)?
Who would have thought you spoke Swedish too?LOL. Tak sa mycket kompis!
I would be surprised if these were Shigefusa. I wouldn't be surprised if someone put Shiegfusa kanji on there. Probably other explanations as well. Maybe someone that knows kanji well could offers some insight? @KenHash do you have any ideas?McMan thank you for your reply

Thanks, Ken! Not sure how I missed your post--my apologies.Please see my post 7 posts up. Not Shigefusa knives, not Shugefusa engraving in my opinion.

This one had my curiosity piqued. The kanji looked "off" to me too.
I wonder if this is the forum's first case of knock-off Shigs?

Wow, never heard of this guy. Fascinating!I do not "speak" Svenka. But I had a Swedish room mate in school many decades ago and I picked up some phrases. Some dirty phrases as well...lol
There are quite a few people from Sweden here in Japan. In fact, have you heard of Yukawa Yasha 湯川 夜叉?
