Looking for some info on these Blue #1 wide bevels on Tsubaya's site.
This first 210 mm Blue#1 in this link has what seems like Tanaka's little square stamp

This knife is very similar to another Blue #1 on Tsubaya without the stamp but has options for a 270 mm size:

Can anyone confirm if these are Tanaka's Blue #1? Because these are at a very good price, and I'm itching to try them out.
