Thanks Steve.  Now I have 2 of his.  The first one wasn't dated either and the blade was estimated to be mid 1650s.  I realize cuts tests were often done sometime after a blade was made, maybe years, but 100 years seems a bit of a stretch.  

 

Any chance our NMB treasure @Markus Sesko is around?  He literally wrote the book on the testers.  Or if anyone else can give  me an idea of when Yoshitoyo did his work?
