Another from my friend's lot. I'll post up full length photos when he sends them to me.

I handled and examined this one as well. Couldn't remove the tsuka as the mekugi is covered by leather and I didn't want to try unstitching it just yet. The tsuba is clearly not gunto, and the saya is laquered wood covered with leather as well.

Blade is in rough condition and looks like someone was trimming their hedges with it at some point. A few openings in the hada, and some nicks to the edge near the tip. The straight (sugu) hamon is quite visible and pronounced. Some hataraki ("activity") is visible as well.
