The best info I can find is that it may or may not be a Shun but it is an 8" carving knife. As usual, the edge needs work. I normally change knives I buy to have an 18°/18° degree edge but I think I will keep the original angle on this one.
I would say you got a great deal.. there is three views at the following link, the third one shows similar markings to yours. I think yours is just an older model.
