Tatsuo Ikeda

[ynot1985]

You can tell it’s a tatsuo from the hamon? I have three and I still can’t identify them by the hamon. The last one I thought as a tatsuo ended up been genkai. I’m assuming you saw kanji on the tang right?

My kanji reading is still dog ****... Would someone mind translating the Tatsuo Ikeda Honyaki kanji?

 

[fuzion]

The petty does have the kanji sakai masayuki, does that mean it's by Tatsuo Ikeda?

I found this little gem recently. Tatsuo Ikeda 210 Honyaki. I had given the whole 210 thing up, but that hamon and the fact it was a Tatsuo sealed It!View attachment 44849View attachment 44850View attachment 44851

I’d evaluate things carefully before jumping to conclusions on whether it’s a Tatsuo or not.

The knives posted by F-Flash are all Tatsuos

Would you mind post a closer photo of the kanji and a choil shot of the Honyaki?

Ayyy nvm- found the info I needed.

Confirmed Tatsuo Ikeda Honyaki Gyuto. Sharpener is Kasahara.

I would caution against using strictly the hamon to try and determine a blacksmith- Yoshikazu makes this hamon as well.. But you hit the jackpot on this one.

...still would love to see a choil shot though

Could you share how you confirmed that this is a Tatsuo?

‘In certificates we trust’ irrespective of the issuing body it seems.

Far be it from me to act as the ‘Tatsuo arbiter’ but I’ve seen the same certificates issued by the same person and it almost makes me chuckle.

In any case, if it’s a great knife, then who cares, enjoy in good health - I just hope a fortune wasn’t paid
