Unusual signed but unidentifiable Knife

[Swatts]

Hi,
I bought a lot of collectable knives from a collectors widow. This knife whilst not a kitchen knife, is a fab looking knife from Japan. Any ideas on the maker and any other info type of wood etc?

I think it's an HP

No clue on maker but the wood looks like desert ironwood that has darkened over the years

So it’s a Kanetsune kitashu?
