Help with naval dirk

[deadreconing11]

I inherited a naval dirk from my grandfathers collection, the koshirae is in pristine condition. But the blade has a hagire and is a gimei of a big name. So the value of it is mainly in the koshirae. Any thoughts?

Here is a photo of the hagire. Also excuse any fingerprints, I let some self described “expert” fondle my collection, for the first and last time. I’m pretty sure they’ve all since been wiped off before I took pictures.

The small stamp is of the Suya Shoten comany.  They had a good reputation.  You must have already had the mei evaluated?  I thing a bunch of us would still enjoy seeing it.  Not often we get to see dirks with privately made blades.

Yeah no worries! I’ll take some pictures of the mei when I get home for you guys.
 

I ended up skipping it since the blade itself isn’t really that much in value considering the hagire (that I can see). There is about 3 other small chips in the blade that I assume are from someone chopping something with it.

It appears as though it may have a Ha Giri.
