Ok, I don't have a camera capable of taking quality pictures so I will try to describe the problem the best I can. A couple of weeks ago I bought a great WWII Gendai Katana, it seemed flawless to me until I discovered a very small 1 inch long crack ruinning along the mune, I think this is called a ware? Do you think this is repairable? Or is it a fatal flaw? The crack is so thin you could barley fit a hair through it.

 

Thanks, Rich

Rich, most likely it's a product of an error in Kitae and not a fatal flaw, but you should show it in person to somebody knowledgeable near to you.

Some small kizu are reparaible (better, can be hidden) during the polishing process, *if* the blade deserve and is in need of such polish.
