OK thanks. It's not a Seki maker, it's Echizen.

Yeah, I know this brand by watching his video, but seems like minonokuni knife is not famous, not many people use it.

Minounokuni is brand used by an Echizen maker, Iwai Hamono (aka Kajikoubo Iwai -Blacksmith Studio Iwai).
Presernt;y 3rd Gen is Etsushuu Takayuki and 4th Gen is Iwai Takeshi (probably Takeshi, might be Masaru).
The brand name threw me off because Minounokuni is the province of Minou where Seki is. I didn't expect a maker from the province of Echizen to use such a brand name.

I own two of these. I think they’re a fairly good bargain for a very functional edge/purpose. I use the el cheapo one to cut things I really shouldn’t, but I don’t care!
