Thread: [KANJI HELP] Post here your requests

Thank you very much! 😉

I have a Japanese Deba for use. Help with the translation of kenji.

Can anyone translate the kanji in the picture?
Thanks in advance

Any ideas on this one?

It should be the maker's name or brand: "Kawashima"

Thank you!

First, thank you so much to those who translate, and have been doing so time and time again!

I just picked up my first two kamasori, and am curious about the markings. I am hoping someone can tell me what this all mean.

First up is a Inoue Tosuke:





And a Henkotsu:



Any help is appreciated!

Found on side of old jnat.

OK, so I figured out most of the Tosuke. I am only missing the top 2 or three characters now... I believe its trying to say how it was forged, or what it is forged with, as I know "forged" is that last kanji in the top set. Anyone know what the rest of the top says?

And a Henkotsu:

And for this guy, I know all of it except where the 4 kanji in a square are. I know the two on the right hand side of that square are "trade mark", but I dont know the left two.

Thanks again!

Well, I guess it could be 一本鋼打 where 一本 should be Ippon - Japanese, so Japanese steel! Duh...
So a Japanese razor made of Japanese steel, made in Japan...
