Help with the translation and identification of the hallmark

[Bruce Pennington]

Hi Artem,

 

Looks like Kaneuji - 兼氏 (Kaneuji)

1940

 

One of the real translators can give you the kanji on that date.  It's written in the "2600 year" format.

紀元二千六百年? Kigen nisen roppyaku nen? = 2600 Imperial year = 1940 Not 100% sure of the last kanji. Should be nen (year).

 

Stamp at top is a "Showa" stamp. This is an acceptance stamp from the factory where is was made. See below.

Thanks Dan!

 

My only correction is that we now know, for a fact, with documentation, that the Showa stamp was used by the Seki Cutlery Manufacturers Association on inspectedt and approved blades.  This wil be in the upcoming Mar '23 issue of the Stamps Doc.

皇紀二千六百年  Kōki nisen roppyaku nen

 

Kaneuji is correct.
