Japanese knives made from White or Blue steel are always stamped. Kamisori are known to be made predominantly with white 2 and most are stamped.
Those particular Eiko could very well be made from white 2 steel but they are not stamped. Nothing leads to believe the steel is white 2, just a statement on ebay listing or some one's website.
