Interesting... care to share more info? Not sure if it's lighting, but the lines seem... uncrisp. Hasn't been shaped fully yet?
 
Oh no, I never said anything about flaws in the blades... now that I look at your site, they're blade blanks - so they're probably not fully shaped yet - plus the pattern welding confuses my eyes a little regarding the geometry...
P.S. It's not "tanto" - it's "daito" or "katana"
