If anyone could translate the writing in the pics I would greatly appreciate it.
These are on quality culinary knives.
Thank you in advance.

"Under no circumstances should these extremely sharp knives be used by clumsy Gaijin" - plain as day . . .  :smt003

Could be like the Hon Kasumi knives - Deba Hocho is a general purpose, then there is Sashimi Hocho and Usuba Hocho for vegetables you can see some here: http://www.japanwoodworker.com/search2/search.aspx?query=chef%20knives

The Chinese and Japanese ideograph sets are nearly identical, so I'll have my wife look at it if no one gets back to you first.

 I can tell you that the uppermost character on the knife on the right means "sky" or "heaven".
