Rich,

Based solely on the colouring in the photo and size/weight you mention, my guess would be a Narutaki. But, as others have said, the proof is in the pudding and it's worth as a hone can only be ascertained through use.

Even So Yama****a probably couldn't tell you what it is from just a photo, although I bet he could get close. I tried that route with one of mine and So asked me to send it to him so he could use it before passing final judgement.
