This will be an interesting project. The tanto is nicely crafted lacking only in the blade polishing. Is well polished save for some 600 grit scratches that run diagonal to the blade. I suspect that the prior owner may have attempted clean something on the blade damaging the original finish. I applied a bit of white vinegar to see if that would bring the hamon out and it does.
This is a well crafted piece just that it doesn't show any signs of a maker's ID mark. I've had the handle off unless the maker marked it under the habaki. Will take the tanto apart this week and study.
