Hoping for some opinions/insight on a Wakazashi (Ko Dachi?) signed "Nagamitsu saku", there is no nengi.

Blade is graceful with deep sori.

Hada is Itame/Mokume with ji nie.

Hamon appears to be suguha-however it is so thin from repeated polishes it is difficult for me to be certain. The last polisher has added a "cosmetic hamon" which makes it more difficult to ascertain what is present. Nie and sunagashi are evident however.

Blade was obtained from a Japanese dealer and came from Japan (hence Japanese polish).

The nakago appears ubu. There is a single mekugi ana, no evidence of muni machi having been moved.

 

Nagasa: 21.30" 54.1 CM

Nakago: 5.38" 13.67 CM

Sori: .78" 19.7 MM

Motohaba: 1.05" 27.3 MM

Sakihaba: .22" 5.63 MM

Motagasane: .155" 3.94 MM

Sakigasane: .73" 18.5 MM
