^ You're putting a ton of things out of context there.

For one, Kaneki "cutting" Arima was more of a symbol of how much potential Kaneki can grow. Not that he was then and there on an insane level of power. Add to the fact that Arima thought he was handling a small fry to begin with, his gaurd may have been down just a little marginal bit at that moment, and that is enough for Kaneki to at least land a pussyscratch.

As for the Owl, she fought against a shitton of incredibly powerful individuals prior to her fight against Arima. And if I recall, Kaneki ended up basically dead with his eyeballs pierced and body stabbed up after his fight with Arima. Meanwhile, Owl ended up looking almost unscathed and in no major worry. That speaks volumes.

So no, Kaneki was at most SS class and nothing higher.
