Thread: [KANJI HELP] Post here your requests

I found this vintage Wakizashi at my Brother-in-law’s house on Thanksgiving. I removed the handle and found this Kanji. It’s not a razor, but I’m hoping someone can help.

The Tsuba has markings as well. They are not as easy to read.

I’m not sure if I have the photo oriented correctly. Thank you for any help.

can someone help me with a translation?

Hello Folks,

Anyone can say something about this?
It's a 7/8" Friede 510 Frameback straight.

Thanks! ;-)

That looks like a traditional Chinese razor used to shave the head in the hairstyle called the Queue, shaved at the front and sides and long plated ponytail at the back. It’s rather like the Japanese using a kamisori to shave the Chronmage.

Thank You. I'm looking the maker .
