Frankfurter505 Posted January 19 Report Posted January 19 Does it have a signature on the tang? Quote
John C Posted January 19 Report Posted January 19 Frank: Saw this on ShopGoodwill a few weeks ago and wondered the same thing...what does the tang look like? John C. Quote
Frank L Posted January 19 Author Report Posted January 19 Thanks John - I’m not sure how to get to the tang on this knife without damaging the handle - any tips would be appreciated. Quote

Hi Frank, You've got a nice little piece there! The two circular menuki should unscrew - just be very careful with them. Good luck! Dee Quote
Matsunoki Posted January 19 Report Posted January 19 …..and sometimes the thread on these combined metal menuki/mekugi is reversed ie it might unscrew clockwise. Try each way gently. Quote
