Hey guys just curious on kanji for my kagekiyo vintage carbon. I believe front is gesshin kagekiyo (not positive though) and no idea on back. Any help is appreciated!

This knife must be rare. Didn’t know it exists. Nice find!
It was dropped on japanese knife imports along with a hinoura dama like 2 weeks ago? Jon posted it on his Instagram and they only had one. I'm guessing most people were gunning for the hinoura and I got lucky! Curious if it's morihiro sharpened since I know he's heavily involved with kagekiyo, however they wouldn't tell me 😅
 
Interesting, they say togo steel but not togo reigo? There are many grades of togo right?
on the product description page it says togo reigo, but I believe at this point unless lab tested it's very difficult to actually know, similarly on the konosuke vintage carbons they dont call it togo reigo, just vintage swedish steel
