I don't know anything about knives really, but I picked this up at an estate sale years ago because I could tell it was carbon steel. I'm just trying to identify what it is and if it's any good. Anyone have any ideas?

This is a good knife. It is sold by Aoki Hamono who also sells Sakai Takayuki label.
Your knife is marked Sakai Kikutaka 堺　菊孝　and probably White steel.
