Dear experts,

I need your help in "reading" my gendaito blade: a Kaneshige, RJT smith, 1944 star stamped one.

Frankly, I got lost with hagarami, hajimi, ware...

I noticed a very small "scratch" over the nioi-guchi part of hamon, and also a couple, smaller, close to the ha.

They are barely visible naked eyes, and just with a strong light.

I got pics with macro; nothing on the corresponding, opposite side of the blade. Could you please tell me what do I have here?

Kitae Ware, or forging flaw.

 

Caro Marzio,

 

These types of flaws within the hamon are permanent.
