has some staining and scuff marks. 
    If polished this sword should turn out spectacular. No flaws are visible on this sword.

 

This is a very stout wakazashi with a beautiful O-Kissaki (large point).  This sword if polished will be very beautiful as I see no flaws on this sword at all.  The hamon is very difficult to photograph but has a lot of ara-nie and is extremely active.  The sugata of this blade is very pleasant with its O-Kissaki.  This sword should be polished and submitted to shinsa some day.
