Thank you guys, the puzzle has been solved! :D

I've seen different types of fukure before, so don't think it falls into that category.

Thanks guys, it makes a lot of sense now.

I've been reading information on different ways to describe JITETSU, and this pops up from the following link. "Most will have shirakke utsuri. The steel will feel hard." https://nihonto.com/enju-school/ I'd appreciate if you can share your thoughts on the steel texture in terms of visible hardness and softness. It'd be even better if you have photos for illustration. Thanks

I'm leaning toward shingane. What do you think?
