In my humble opinion this is either:

 

1 The winning entry in the silly swordsmith competition... Cut the sword down and throw away the sharp bit.

 

2.The most drastic Osuriage I have ever seen.

 

3. An extreme example of nihonto minimalism.

 

4. The repair resulting from extensive kissaki damage.

 

5. An example of a very tired blade that has been slightly overpolished.

 

6. A sword made to order for a samurai hippy.......... Peace man! Make love not war!

 

Good luck finding the rest of it!!!!!!! :D

Oh yes, but it was sort of squared off,chokuto style and of course the nakago being much later I embedde it in my neighbours tyre.

These are usually from swords found in modern times, and the owners panic thinking they are illegal and not registered, and so they are cut to pieces.

I saw quite a few in Japan. Many don't want the hassles of registering swords out of the woodwork, and rather cut them down. Sad, but true.

Hi Roy,

 

Hope you and the good lady are well.

 

I'm one step in front of you, I've only got to look for the top half of my blade

I think this is a Ninja sword and isn't broken at all. Careful not to cut yourself.

At the San Francisco show Ted Tenold had a set of tangs that had been polished where cut. That was done to show the construction of the blade. Ted gave a talk on these last year. His set was about $3k so tangs do have value if polished....
