Hello, here is my attempt:
Starting from the top right it says:
日本 - nihon or nippon - "Japan"
刀打 - the reading of these kanji is a bit difficoult. I found the opposite combination 打刀 (うちがたな) the meaning anyway should be the same "forged blade" or "forged katana" 打= to forge 刀=blade, katana
吉妻作 - Yoshizuma saku - "Made by Yoshizuma"
In the Middle row we have:
特級 - tokkyu - "high grade"
登録商標 - touroku shouhyou - "trade mark"
誂別 - choubetsu - something like "special" or "uncommon"
剪刀 - sentou - "scissors", surgical type maybe (but why on a kamisori?)
Arsenico, thank you so much, I appreciate your help.
My pleasure Bullrider!
If i am not mistaken i believe middle kanji word meansTAMAHAGANE which is basically the same steel made to make katanas with. You have a pretty high end Kamisori. I own 6 of them.
I do not see tamahagane kanji on the blade.Quote:
