Thanks! I knew it was a shop name. Yeah this is a Shig I just picked up from an NZ collector.

I grabbed it as it's not a Shig knife that I've seen very often and the Kurouchi is really nice.

Indeed, hamono special orders may have different if not better aspects/qualities.

Interesting. According to this article Shigefusa Kanji: A Guide, they don't normally have kanji on the front. I wonder if the store added it? @Zweber12

FWIW that's the backside of a deba, also this type of mark is mentioned in 'SANJO WORKS' section.
