Kuniyuki blade?

[John B]

Could anyone help me with info on this sword? The blade is 32".

The signature does read Kuniyuki. Grey

Dear John.

 

Forgive me if I state what is already obvious to you but here goes.  When you say the blade length is 32" do you mean overall or the nagasa?  If in doubt see here, http://www.japaneseswordindex.com/measure.htm

 

Next, the nakago has had some very rough treatment, it looks as though someone has taken a grinder to it in places.  For an idea about how it should look compare here, https://www.aoijapan.com/katanakashu-ju-ise-daijo-fujiwara-kaneshige/

 

For best hope of some good responses a picture of the whole blade with the habaki removed would be helpful.

 

All the best.
