Additional Information: Unused, they are well preserved by the collector and are in brand new condition. I was impressed by the precision with which the blacksmith worked the side of the saw blade, as shown in the third picture.
Kamabiki is mainly used for short cuts, such as the mortises in wooden structures of buildings.
The fifth and fourth generations of Nakaya Takijiro both used “中屋瀧次郎正義/Nakaya Takijiro Masayoshi” as their brand name. But the works of the fourth generation of blacksmiths only add “正義” to the saws that use “Tamahagane”. Regarding the authenticity of this information, I will find an opportunity to verify it with the 5th generation blacksmith in the future.
