Trying to cut through an acorn squash just now with Rita's prized Japanese steel cleaver using a wooden mallet I made for her a while back. Gave it a good smack (which to my mind it should be easily able to withstand) on a heavy duty cutting board, and it snapped. Needless to say "snapped" and "prized" don't mix well, and she's more than pissed. Can this be fixed? I don't care about the scales, I can make new ones, but I have no way of fixing the break.
If you can fix it, what's it going to cost me? It was a $100+ knife when it was new, which was decades ago. All the writing on the box & blade are in Kanji and so far I haven't been able to find a manufacturer, the box is old enough to predate having a website on it.
Is that the clearest picture of the writing you can conjure?

While gorgeous, I probably would never buy one because I consider it a tool. And I suck at maintenance.
BUT, I will tell you that this guy makes tools. I have bought 2 and working on getting a third. All are Field knives but he makes kitchen knives too upon request.
