Rawa Posted April 9 Report Posted April 9 In auction posted below I see dark line running through hamon in parralel to ha. Spot starts 15cm from hamachi. How this kizu is called? Ware something? Its definitely a split. It is recognized as "fatal"? https://www.ebay.pl/itm/156845725169?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=4908-175131-2357-0&ssspo=Twk6GX_BQYi&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=jrSzcucxTf-&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Quote

Likely not fatal, just cosmetic. I assume you are referring to what appears as a gap in the lamination running parallel to the edge at the hamon boundary (picture below). Something is off about the patina on the nakago but maybe it's just me. Quote
