You have a hand forged razor, made in Sakae, Japan (Sakae TM on the box). If the box isn’t original to the razor, then I cannot say what it is, the marking on the front tang isn’t really readable to me. But Sakae is (like Sanjo) Solingen (or Sheffield) of Japan. Might wanna check Fikira’s blog on Japanese makers.
