A gun site I visit has a contest to tell what is on the knives. I'm hoping this is Japanese and not Chinese. Could you tell me what they say going left to right (1-2-3)? I think this is the first time I've asked for a translation in all the years I've been here.

Thanks

The deal is you can buy all knives at half off if you know what they say. I'm not a knife guy , so I just wondered what their big secret was. I'm happy with a small pocket knife I carry now. Thank you very much Mike.

as a bonus, it looks like the emblems on the knives are the kamon of those famous houses

There were about 90 replies. Most just guessed the kamon. Only one person got it right and he got to buy them at half price , whatever that might have been. Mike nailed them perfect. Throwing knives are not too useful in my neighborhood.
