I have seen several Daishi, they all also said "Iron Sand" and tamahagane on the tang, and the small stamp on the very end.
Pretty hard tempered blades too.

And they (at least mine) shave like a dream.
It sharpens differently than other hard blades I've sharpened, arrgh don't know how to explain it but it got a smooth feel to it on the Nakayama.

Just had a nightly shave with the Tosho S.2, amazing razor, hard to shave when your laughing out loud at the same time.

Edit; Yes my Daishi also got "Iron Sand" and tamahagane on the tang, it also say Yasuki Steel.

Jamie, You call this a western style. Is the grind a western style grind or the kamisori grind?

I think this is a folding (western style) Kamisori of course with kamisori grind.

The grind is a Japanese Kamisori grind, I have another Kamisori western style I will show you a picture of the razor plus the grind.
