Thank you Maxime and Jean 

Guess what is throwing me off is the black marks in the 2nd video.( the very end shows the black discolorations)

The hamon is white throughout until it reaches the two black stains pictured after which the hamon is white again.  This occurrence is also a repeated  a couple times elsewhere
 

Hello All,

Long time....Back into the game again . Recently picked up a Wak had quesitons. I have two videos one shows the blade with no stain at all and other side with stains. (I think).  Under direct light the darker areas take on a slightly brownish/yellowish hue) They don't feel like scratches. If it’s a stain can it be removed with another product??  I tried 99 percent Isopropyl Alcohol and Choji Oil with no effect,  Any idea what these black marks are?
