Japanese Carbon Steel 11" knife identification?

I found a great knife in a drawer at an estate sale.

It has an 11inch chef's style blade, full bolster into the handle and the blade looks like it was forged. On the left side of the blade it has "CARBON STEEL" WITH "JAPAN" underneath. The words are stamped.

There are no other markings on the knife.

It also has a wooden handle with two brass pins securing the handle.

I have some great pictures and don't know how to post them here.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Just looking for help identifying this great looking knife with tons of character.

Thanks!
