    The scales are from a Kikuboshi, another Japanese brand

    Now John, your taste is excellent. Good choice for a Marine.
    Proper prior planning prevents piss poor performance.

    Does anyone here read Japanese? I'm curious to know what the tang reads (other than, perhaps, EXTRA VERY HARD).

    (In the case that it might read TWO GOLDEN MEN / PAKISTAN, please feel free to remain silent.)

    Thank you in advance.

    Regards,
    Chris

    You're welcome!

    By the way 梅 ("ume") in the circle means "plum", Sometimes the circle itself means "Maru",
    so, I'm not sure, but it also can mean "Maru-ume" or "Maruma" (a brand?)

    Regards
