Do you have any confirmation on if this was made by Shiraki Hamono, or Kenichi Shiraki himself? Generally there is a stamp on the tang indicating one way or another. Kanji on the blade sometimes dictates as well.

I’m not too sure with the stamp on the tang as I wasn’t the first owner and I wouldn’t want to ruin this customized handle. Also I couldn’t find the link from Hitohira for this knife anymore as it has been sold since 2018.

The only possible way I could think of is to check with Hitohira.

This is the reply I got from Hokuto who is the president of Hitohira.

I hope this helps.
