    Here's my NOS Iwasaki.

    Made by the legendary blacksmith Mr. Shigeyoshi Iwasaki was born in 1933
    and was trained by among others his father Dr. Iwasaki Kousuke that
    designed Iwasaki Kamisori also a metallurgist famous for classifying
    Japanese steels i.e. "yellow paper", "white paper", "blue paper" etc.
    He also took part in an investigation of ancient swords and knives kept
    at Syousou-In, a treasure house built in the 8th century.
    When he was not in his forge, he teached technical skills and
    metallurgy theory to young blacksmiths from Sanjo as Shigefusa and
    Yoshikane.

    This one is Old and made By Iwasaki himself ! Western Iwasaki
    These razors is very Rare and very hard to find.
    Many Japanese collectors are also on search for them so for us outside
    Japan it is even harder to get !


    Collector Item

    Steel: Swedish Carbon Steel
    Hardness: ca. 64 HRC
    Length: 71 mm
    Length height: 23 mm

    Hey guys. I'm new here and new to collecting/using straights. Came across this blade a couple of months back. I believe it is a Japanese blade, but other than that, I really don't know much anything about it. Can anyone help me out......Name:  1476845948387983810029.jpg

    I have not seen one, but it seems likely to be German, by Schutz due to the 'Schutzmarke'?
