A while ago I bought a used set of old Japanese knives from Yahoo auctions using a proxy service. Usually the knife sets don't have many bids or interest but this one did.
All of the knives were function over form but these two were the only ones where the signature was done by hand and not stamped.
The large Deba weighs almost 500g. Both knives are incredibly sharp, are a joy to use and appeared to be looked after. My guess is they are both blue steel.
Any help or info would be appreciated.
