Mark, I think we're seeing an artifact of the lighting and angle. The way the sword was photographed looks like it highlights the tip, rather than the blade. A slight adjustment would likely blurr the tip and bring the blade polish into focus.

Ah. So its the fact that it has that facetted tip geometry, not that the tip is polished differently from the rest of the blade.
