Hi I am Lorenzo,
I am sure someone can help me.
I am interested in buying this used set of knives: i am pretty sure about the deba and the takohiki being from the Masamoto manufacture but I am not sure about the yanagiba (the photo with the wooden background and the one with dark blue background) Can someone help me translating these kanji?

The deba (the left one) and takohiki (the right) are indeed made by Masamoto Sōhonten.

However, the yanagiba (the center) is made by 吉兼 Yoshikane / 吉金刃物 Yoshikane Hamono Co.,Ltd.
