I think that is the k1 caliper which is black as standard, tokico 0,1 and two are usually sandcast up until late K0, THEN I RECON THE Tokico 3 is k1 , this is just a casting number i think, the calipers are essentially the same

He clearly has the knowledge. All he needs is someone who understands website design.  That would look perfect as a blog with properly managed photos.
