I bought this takobiki off B/S/T a year or so ago for 300 USD, unfortunately I don't use it enough.
I've probably sharpened it once since purchasing. Looking to trade really, but would accept cash as well

Any idea if the takobiki is Kenjiro or Itsuo?
Not sure how old this blade is, I know you bought it used, did the previous owner provide its pedigree?

PM sent, but for anyone else interested, I do not know how old the blade is, i bought it from a more senior member here, but I only bought it last year. Is there a way to tell? I can take more pictures of the blade, I think there is another marking on the back.

I'm that "more senior" member (does that mean older than dirt?). When I bought the knife, it was from another member had bought it from Korin a year previous. And I had it about a year. My fuzzy math tells me it left Korin 3 - 5 years ago, probably closer to 3. Nice knife.
