The knife Ringo was using to cut soba noodles was made by Mizu.
It has her signature as the blade smith, which we saw her make when Master Eiji told her that a smith signs their name and to make 1,000 kitchen knives and then she might be ready to make a sword.
So Mizu cut off Hachiman's fingers with a kitchen knife she herself had made
And we can assume that's her unique signature as a smith and not a generic signature for Master Eiji's forge because Blood Soaked Chiaki's sword which they both worked on has two smith signatures; the first one likely Master Eiji's with Mizu's signature below it

The thrill of finally getting recognised for your morally reprehensible qualifications followed by the disappointment of it being just your regular qualifications
I found out a couple months ago that I'm apparently the Knife Guy, according to the colleague who handles most of our weapon cases. He had some very particular questions about knives--turns out that he needed to know about clip point and drop point blades. I didn't even realize I talked about knives that much at work, but I guess it was enough that he knew who to ask about that.
So if I can't be the Morally Reprehensible Guy, I guess Knife Guy is a decent consolation.

Rem...Rem...we were no good...right from the start. We...I...should never...have been...born.
Trigun Volume 2, Chapter 8
[ALT ID: A vertical comic of Vash and Millions Knives from Trigun. The top of the comic shows Vash on his hands and knees with his teeth bared and wings out; the middle section shows Knives with his wings and giant sword arm out; the final section shows the two of them as children, standing together while Knives is throwing his hands up in excitement and Vash is grinning at him. Over the comic is the quote, "We were no good right from the start."]
