offered here is a remarkable set of three vintage traditional Japanese Yanagiba knives, each bearing an authentic maker’s signature. These long, single-bevel sashimi knives represent classic Japanese craftsmanship and regional blade-making heritage.

1. Echigo Tamasaburō Saku (越後玉三郎作)

The blade is signed “Echigo Tamasaburō Saku.”
The wooden handle retains its original label reading “Registered Tamasaburō – Stainless Steel.”
A refined traditional profile with elegant shinogi line and balanced taper.

2. Wazō Sekimagoroku Take (和造 関孫六 竹)

A knife from the renowned Seki tradition. “Sekimagoroku” is a historic name associated with the swordsmith lineage of Seki, one of Japan’s most important blade-making centers.

3. Nōshū Masamune Saku (濃州正宗作)

Signed “Nōshū Masamune Saku.” “Nōshū” refers to Mino Province (modern Gifu area), historically famous for sword production. A beautiful example reflecting traditional Japanese blade aesthetics.
