Thank you, Jean. Hopefully other members can fill in the remaining kanji.

Hi Phil, I can only help you with the manufacturing date. 二 Ni (2) 十 Ju (10) 年 Nen (year) 一 Ichi (1) 月 Gatsu (month) Without era name I presume Showa, so 1926 + 20 -1= 1945, 1st month = January. Hope this helps. Regards, Ed

Stephen, not barking. Just a warning. Sorry if my writing style is wrong.

Wipe the fingerprints and oil the blade!

Very nice. You did a good job! -
Hi Bjorn, The kissaki is poorly shaped. The fukura and ko-shinogi don't run parallel. Reshaped and that's why the hamon is lost or parts of the hamon are lost.
-
Great! Thanks for sharing.
-
Thanks guys!

I have a wakizashi and have some difficulty with naming the type of the hamon. From the middle of the blade towards the tip there are some cloud shaped object. Some connected to the hamon but some are just floating around. Is it save to call this tobiyaki? Not the best pictures but I hope it's good enough. Regards, Ed

It's called single stroke art. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=g7H8IhGZnpM A short demonstration of of this kind of art.

Steve, The definition of a wakizashi changed over time. Markus Sesko wrote a nice artikel about it. https://markussesko.com/2015/08/11/the-wakizashi/ You can also call your blade a Ko-Wakizashi (slightly bigger than a Tanto). So a ko-wakizashi in full navy Koshirae.
