All the little black lines you see on the blade are forging flaws. It is an authentic Japanese sword but not something desirable as even though this hobby can span swords 800 years old flaws make them less attractive to potential future buyers. If you are new to collecting and this is your 1st round and it's cheap it is authentic but it's not something that will have much resell value.  All that said with a grain of salt as I am relatively new to this as well but so it goes.
