Bought this about a week ago in Osaka at Sakai Ichimonji Mitsuhide and forgot to ask for a translation of what was on it.
The only thing I remember was u/ichimonji_JP said it's from an apprentice and not a master, so the price was something I could afford.
The entire staff was very helpful with explaining all the knives and options, but I forgot to ask for what the engraving said.
I will be heading to Japan in about a month and would like to get 2 different knives. I’ll be in Tokyo and Osaka, but could easily do a day trip down to Sakai if that would give better options.
I’m thinking of buying a nice Sujihiki and a Kiritsuke. The Sujihiki will be used by a guy who runs a BBQ food truck. The Kiritsuke would be for me, a not all that serious home cook but also as a memento of the trip. Looking to spend around $200 for each knife.
I do want to get them engraved. Any recommendations for where to buy? Also, are there limits to the number of characters to engrave? Could I get the BBQ company name engraved (Woodhill BBQ) or is that too long?
