Strange lump near to Mune maki

Gwyn,

to me it looks like a damaged MUNE MACHI (not MUNE MAKI). Although the photos are not perfect, I think I can see that the little offset is not at a right angle as it should be. This 'phenomenon' is certainly not deliberately made in the manufacture of the blade, but had occurred later.

A little MACHI OKURI will have to be done to remove the flaw/defect.

Looks to me like someone used a small thin flathead and a hammer to pop a habaki off that was stuck.

It bumped/slipped and went high due to being a very thin sharp tipped flathead but still caught pushing some of the metal forward.

Or i could be very wrong.
