These NOS vintage Henkotsu Kamisori imported directly from Sakamoto San in Japan. Mr. Sakamoto is a well respected craftsman in Japan. His father, Sakamoto San helped to popularize, document, grade and stamp Mikawa Shiro Nagura. Mr Sakamoto owns a shop in Japan which specializes in Scissor and razor sharpening for the barber industry. He also stamps and wholesales all of the Asano Stamped Mikawa Shiro Nagura. 
Mr Sakamoto honed and finished these Kamisori so you can expect a stellar edge out of the box and rubber handles are already attached by Mr Sakamoto as well. 

Henkotsu kamisori are known for their superior edge retention and overall sharpness with their traditional Ni Mai, two layer construction. 

One Kamisori (A) is stamped as "Iya-demo-kireru". 
The other Kamisori are stamped as "Shin-tokkyu". 
The Kanji / Katakana read as:
イヤデモ切レ儿 ・iyademo kireru ・ slightly odd written in Katakana and Kanji translates to: "shaves no matter what".
へんこつ・Henkotsu・ the maker brand can be found. The こ (ko) looks a bit like an ホ(ho) but is just an old way of writing.
Shin - Tokkyu translates to " New - limited edition" 

Henkotsu translates to "the stubborn one"
