Full bolstered carbon steel (hand-forged after drop-forged?) Western-style gyuto marked Capco Hand Forged Professional Grade.
While the name Capco offers little info on this manufacture date, the T and washer shaped rivets suggest an older manufacture date, possibly from the 1960s. Integrally forged Japanese chef knives like this pop up from time to time but not too terribly often.
The overall footprint of this knife especially in the tip and handle shape is done in a very Japanese style with the western addition of a full bolster. The hardness of the steel is possibly in the 58 range judging from sharpening, but this is an inaccurate measurement.
The handle has a crack and a missing disc, it was found a bit sharpened in, rusty, and required a thinning. If it was not such an uncommon gyuto to find, I would be on the fence about refurbishing it. However, seeing as it is an interesting iteration of the Japanese, Western-style, chef knife, I think it should get fixed up.
Buy it quick before I convince myself it needs to part of my collection.
