Can anyone confirm this is a Tosuke?
My Japanese is non-existant is there anyone with knowledge that can help? I am looking to confirm it is a Tosuke and that English Steel is reliable, well maintaining. Thanks!

The fact that it is stamped in English makes me skeptical that this was made by Tosuke

It's not a Tosuke

Do all tosuke's have the same markings. The 4 at top and the 4 in a line?

Interesting as I have found many website sites that no longer have them in stock. But do say it is a Tosuke.
It is interesting because, what i understand to be the trade mark (on the spine, dont know if thats what it is) is exact with the other that I have found. The engraving on the handle are different from some and same as others. The england steel is the only thing i haven't seen but I have read that he used england steel.. Interesting...Last edited by suits123; 02-19-2013 at 04:56 PM. Reason: spelling

My spanish is a little better than my italian. Where my japanese is non existant. But on an italian shaving forum I found the same blade many times with everything exactly the same. I think I'm gonna take the risk. Maybe just a different version. From towards the end of his life?

The newer blades are made by people that have the rights to the name.
They can be called such.
