This katana appears to be from the 5th generation Saneyuki because of the date stated on the NTHK papers. The work on this sword is very nice with an incredible amount of activity in the hamon that travels well over the shinogi line in places. The hada is very clean and healthy. It shows some small wari or coarseness in a few spots but overall the quality is very nice on this sword.
