I'm curious. what does Dentokougeishi mean?

Traditional or Master Craftsman depending on which Google result you look at.

Essentially, it means Certified Traditional Craftsman. (Others will be able to give you the proper/literal translation.) It's not unique to knives; other crafts have dentokougeishi. The title requires gov't certification.
