Hi, does anyone know what the makers stamp on these chisels say?:

My Japanese is a little rusty, but let me give it a shot.

I'm pretty sure it says, "Made in China".







(OK...I totally made that up. I'm sorry.)

I havent seen those names before. The last picture has the kanji "hisa" at the bottom but I cannot recognize the top kanji. I noticed on your flickr pictures you have a set of ouchi chisels. Very nice! how do you like them? I actually have a new set of tataki nomi from Ouchi with the same sticker as yours. Good luck with finding out those names. all the best

I feel like I've seen the first one somewhere before, the ouchi are no longer with me, I use Marples blue chips right now.

That was pretty good Harold .
