Restoration completed (and kanji ID)

[PasDeChance]

Good evening from France
I wanted to share with you my second completed restoration
This nakiri is part of a bigger set of vintage knives that I bought
It forced a patina with coffee qui early to work more easly on it (and it worked more than well). It need à but of polishing here and there and a pass on the 3000 stone abd it's good to go (I'm selling to a friend.

Can someone tell me something about the kanji on it ? Thanks

Nice work. Does the knife guard have a felt lining? Expect rust occurring at the border.

Sorry for the repetition

All the gaps have been filled with wood paste to avoid this, I may even do a second pass to be sure

I'm afraid I wasn't clear. It was about this plastic edge guard in the second photo I was wondering about whether it had a felt lining.

The problem with the felt is it holds humidity. Expect rust exactly where the felt ends.
Le feutre retient l'humidité. Il faut s'attendre à de la rouille au bord du feutre.

I had troubles with "felt"
Thanks for telling me ! I was not aware of that, I always dry my knives thoroughly so it shouldnt be that much of a problem

Even air humidity combined with temperature fluctuations is enough, I'm afraid.
