Looks like one of those komonjo blades. If I'm not mistaken it's a shinsakuto and any legit shinsakuto must be signed and dated to my understanding. The fact that it isn't dated is a red flag. The habaki and all the fittings look komonjo like.

I wouldn't use that powder and ball setup thats uchiko powder and is a mild abrasive it will actually dull that new polish of yours if used excessively.i don't know of any legit togishi state side to my understanding do to the training method aby real polisher is located in Japan.

Hey man sorry to hear about your friend. just from the single picture it looks like a very nice blade you've been given. And kudos to you for taking the time to find this forum before doing anything to the blade. when it comes to nihonto this is "the forum". The blemish is indeed visible So if it doesn't bother you that much I'd leave it alone you said it's not deep and having it removed you'll find it's quite costly to do so but if you chose to do so hire a trained togishi,a professional polisher(other more knowledgeablepeople will happily point you in the right direction if thats what you want to do).also make sure you have the proper tools(micro cloth,choji oil)to properly maintain the sword. Some newbie advice from one to another. Always ask to confirm before doing anything when it comes to nihonto nomatter how trivial or obvious things may seem it will save you alot of head/heart aches not to mention money. Regards

Thinking the type of polish needed to remove the two areas of rust shouldn't be toomuch but like the other guy said unless it's a must have..... I'd wait for something else.... one thing I've learned in my short time collecting is "patience is a virtue"

Never seen this type of narrowing usually you see narrowing you describe on onokubi zukuri type construction or on sinoji zukuri blades when they want the kissaki to be reinforced. On your blade it doesn't look to be the case but ita hard to tell for sure from the pics you've provided thw taper does look to be on both sides maybe a result of polishing?
