I asked about the engraving

 

indeed it is a signature :

 

"  The engraving is my signature. "Shin Ichi Saku" means made by Shinichi. "

 


 @Smithy 

 

the handles are wood ,  probably chestnut.

 

"  octagonal shaped Enju handle with horn hilt "

 

from the web page       I asked for light colored wood that matched as best as possible

 

Im delighted w the result.

 

Im keen on the two smaller Nakkiri     but the have a plastic hilt

 

if the plastic doesn't bother me , I might get them both w a light colored handle similar to the two I have.

 

we are exchanging emails.   

 

as Ive said , more knives I don't need.

 

however , the two I now have  

 

have the most extraordinary feel in my hand   and cutting with them feel very different than the knives i have.

 

and my knives are very sharp and have thin steel    both the globals and the ones from Granton in GB

Grantons I have that I use frequently , to compare :
