What type of Hamon is this?


Recommended Posts

So, this is from a tanto that has a VERY faint hamon. Definitely in need of a finish polish, and it's only really visible on one side. it's almost like an angled sawtooth.  I thought maybe some variant of GUNOME? YAHAZU? Getting pictures of this was not easy, but my iPhone was up to the task. Using a scanner showed zip, and originally I thought it didn't have one.

Gyaku (Oblique) Choji maybe? Seems to be the same as Saka (slanted) Choji. Nokogiri-ba (Sawtooth)?  So many different types.
