Just as clarification: was it out of polish when you first purchased it, or is it out of polish now because you made the decision to try and polish it yourself?

Both, upon my reciept there were sections of the blade that were obviously used ( tameshigiri? ) They would not cut paper or catch a nail. As well under the habaki was more in polish then outside of it - perhaps from uchiko?
I'd guess at some point this was used as a practitioners sword based on the wear, on receipt it had the usual cuts near the koiguchi from repeated draws and dulling in the mono-uchi area of the blade.
