Hello members,

a few minutes ago i bought a very interesting knife at an ebay auction. I can´t wait to receive it. Does anybody know the Kanji symbols or maybe the manufacturer and model? I only have the bad ebay pics :-(

I know some kanjis at this knife but not all:

Pic1 Bottom: 堺金土口 ??? Sakai Kindoguchi ???


Pic2:


Pic3: ハイス鋼 High Speed Steel. Maybe its powderd steel ?



All in all i think this knife was expensive.

Thanks for help and sorry for my english

Michael

I'd guess it's Kanayoshi 金吉. Unfortunately ハイス鋼 tells us nothing about just which high-speed/powder-metallurgy steel it is.
 
The top kanji is a name, but not of a person. It is a company.
It says Keiyou Boueki 啓洋貿易 (Keiyo Import/Export).

I have never seen ハイス鋼 (high speed steel) to mean anything other than R2(SG2) or SRS15 on a Japanese knife. However it may be some steel I'm not familiar with.

Thank you very much for the translation :upsidedownspin:
