Does it make any sense? Someone said it means “good”, “correct”, but others said it didn’t make any sense.
The bottom one that’s etched, seems too elaborate to mean nothing. Thanks. |

止伸 "zhishen" in Mandarin. There is no such combination of characters in the dictionary. The second could mean the Shen family name.
Lower character possibly 揉 "rou" - rub, massage; crush by hand |

Thank you Ren Ren. The second character that you speak of “rou”, could be loosely interpreted as “hand forged”. |

The character "rou" has the meaning "to bend something while heating on fire." But I could not find a direct indication of blacksmithing
