That example appears to be an oil quenched sword, the dark peaks of the Hamon are a textbook sign. If there is a true Amahide Gendai shown anywhere, it will appear in Mal's excellent article:

I haven't seen one for awhile.  They usually have Mokume or Omokume hada, with a Mino style Hamon and Hataraki.

I have two, one which my father brought home after WWll, one which I purchased at an estate sale. Both are Dai-saku and 

Dai-mei, one by Kanemune the other by Hidetoshi. 

Will post photos of the Hidetoshi when I get a chance, brother is in possession of Kanemune (Amahide.)

This one on Yahoo Japan seems like a water quenched hand forged example:

These are the additional photos I mentioned previously. I believe this sword to be an Amahide dai saku /

 

dai mei by Ido Hidetoshi. I believe it to be Gendaito.
