No problemo.

MrM we don't allow bumping on SRP . You'll notice I deleted 2 of your other bumps.
It's a holdover from when people bumped their classifieds to the top but it is policy across all our forums.
If anyone can help they always do so be patient.]

I had a thought, Magnus, There are lots of Kamisori for sale on Ebay. They seem to have some way to identify the makers.
You might print out a pic of the Kanji, tape it to the side of your computer monitor, and go thru the listings on occasion.
It seems every symbol has a meaning. Maker, type of steel, etc. You might find a friendly, knowledgeable seller who will help you ID yours. Of course, you might have to buy another one to make such a friend!

Not to hijack the thread, but I also have a kamisori that I'm having trouble identifying.



Any help would be greatly appreciated!

99% of these Kamis cannot be identified with the exception of a few (very Few) major makers.
Than you have the ebay sellers that pop into SRP looking for Info,never to return,thorn in my side

So in other words, dont get my hopes up. I can deal with that, it's all about how it shaves after all.

eBay buyer here, not seller. The seller said it was an Inoue Tosuke (naturally the mark doesn't appear to match), but it was an OK price and seems to be of reasonable quality so far.
