Found an interesting blade. What are your observations, how would you classify Jigane, Hamon, Hataraki, etc. or put them into words and, above all, which school would you assign this gem to?Of course, only if the photos allow you to try it...

Thanks to everyone for the good exchange so far. I discovered another interesting example: Somebody knows what you call this beautiful "flame pattern' and why it id made or what importance does it have in blacksmithing and which school and which blacksmiths are known for it?
