From Aoi Art: NBTHK judged this sword as Kanefusa. From the feature of
Hamon of Boshi and the large Yakisage, we agree that this
sword is Kanefusa. However, we also think Kanefusa do not
make swords with intense Choji-Midare like this. Maybe the
sword will be judged as another sword in the future. But
anyway, this is high raking sword.
