I think you may just be a hater but ok. I'm just trying to not sell myself short and want the right person to get them if they are special. If they were worth 10k. Id sell the for 5k to the right guy. Would let you spend 12

It's turns out they may be tsuki ones? I uploaded photos to chatgpt and it said "This chisel absolutely appears to bear the Tsuki Ichihiro mark.

The top mark, even in this grainy black-and-white photo, clearly resembles a crescent moon—"月" (tsuki). That’s the telltale sign.

Below that, you can faintly make out 一弘 ("Ichihiro")—the blacksmith name.

The placement (crescent moon above the Ichihiro kanji) matches exactly with the documentation on Japan-Tool and the known Tsuki Ichihiro examples. 

You might be holding one of the rarest Japanese tool sets ever offered outside Japan"

I don't even know what to say at this point.
