Looks more like a cutting test inscription. Possible to see a bit more of the tang. I'm interested in seeing more of the kanji at the top. It looks like its cut off in this picture.

My guess is that it would be 袈裟落 (Kesa-otoshi), but the top bits (the ones in red) have worn off, and so you are just left with the bottom two kanji.
This is a type of cut made for cutting tests. It is a diagonal cut across the body from shoulder to hip.
