Activities Question

[Mark C]

Hi Everyone,

 

I would like to ask a question about activities on a Wakizashi that I have. I can see sunagashi, but can i see Chikei, course hada or a flaw?

 

Many thanks in advance.

 

Regards

Hamon in nioi. I am seeing flowing waves of sunagashi and sprinkles of chikei. Hada is O-mokume and rather loose, IMO. Shinogi ji is masame.

Nie & ara-nie. Hard to tell whether hada is o-mokume or just tired.

Hagire most unfortunate; still, there is a lot to be learned from that sword.
