Zatoichi.
In most cases, these house a poor quality blade by Japanese standards. Seldom do you find them housing an earlier blade repurposed.
In this case it is one of the former. It might have a hamon, but will not be a great quality blade. Made for export usually. Late Meiji or even later.
Still, very nice by Western sword cane standards, and a poor quality Japanese sword blade is usually better than a good quality mass produced arsenal blade.
