A friend of mine showed me this knife his grandfather got in Japan ~1945.

Tang is marked:
STAINLESS

Stainless is also in the scales in fine print.
As you can see, the box is stamped as well. I tried plugging them in on Google without an results. Figured I'd farm it out to the braintrust.

I haven't got a clue, but those handles look like very good craftsmanship to me, and I'd be surprised if the blade steel wasn't of good quality.

Can't find that ETSY listing again but the screenshot I took of the description should be right, I remember the reverse looking like that.
