Thank you very much!

Hi all, I am new to this message board and am excited to be a part of it. Within the last few months I aquired a tanto with this particular insciption in the tang - I am curious if anyone could help me with translating it. All of my attempts to do so with OCR and visual dictionaries have been unsuccessful. I am aware part of one character appears to be missing, which may make an exact translation more difficult. Thank you for your time.
