Just a guess, but if the intention was to hide the crack, they could have carved more material out.

Instead, to me it looks like a crack formed along the horimono, not the other way round.

The yari looks to have a few forging flaws elsewhere. 

 

Either way, the horimono looks very poorly carved. Not sure why it isn't more centered on the blade.20240228_170056.thumb.jpg.c6d18cb276f3d1f17ff70b332b101f5b.jpg

That's why I was curious. Obviously he only sells "scratch-n-dent" merchandise, but thought the carving was worth posting if it were an attempt at covering a flaw.

Imo, carved to disguise the crack. That’s why it's ”off centre” and poorly carved.You can also see the crack (more likely a hadaware?) extending from the lowest bit of the horimono
