I saw a sword identifying expert say that the Japanese swords were signed on the tang and the handle had to be removed to see it . I have no idea if that applies to your knife.

While there is overlap between licensed swordsmiths and knifemakers, the tang of a cook’s knife is generally unmarked. The inscription is typically near the spine by the tang/handle.

This thing is a feather at under 5 ounces.
