Two questions based on pictures. Not a sword I own. Would this rust spot polish out. I know it depends on the blade and how many times it has been polished. lets say koto sword in good shape, no sign of being overly polished. Second picture . on a high quality blade were the grain of the sword is very uniform is this a fault from the forging process because it stands out from the rest of the grain or is this expectable. In swords rated Tokubetsu Hozon?

The sword is in polish. The small flaws aren't going to matter. They may come out if it is polished again but it is hardly worth the cost, time, and metal removal from the blade.
