I just acquired a CAK (sans handle and bolster), and having looked through the various info here, still haven't found one of the marks. On the left side of the blade there is a flag post running horizontal to the blade edge, with 2 flags pointing toward the spine with the tips pointing to the bolster. The other mark is a sun(?) with three marks parallell to the spine, and four marks parallell to the bolster. I can get pics if necessary, but maybe someone has an idea from this description. Also the U.B. marking is halfway between the bolster and the cho, midway up the blade. Any info is appreciated.
 
The two flags are Vim kami's mark. I'm guessing you're going to be rehandling this CAK so I'll hope it goes well for you.
 
Thanks for the input, I had found the flags, but the sun threw me. I couldn't find any other markings anywhere that matched it at all. And yeh, I'll have to rehandle it, but there was some grinding done to it, so I'm think of more curve in the handle, kind of like my M43.
