My guess is that it was a souvenir sword, or a cheap reproduction for display or collecting.

Why would a Japanese sword for use have 刀 - essentially SWORD - written on it?

For irony? I personally might at least consider buying a gun that had the word 'GUN!' emblazoned on it. I just say that because I feel like I would buy something for the irony. I agree that this is probably a souvenir.

It looks a bit too old and oxidized (at least around the hilt) to be your average souvenir/wallhanger sword, but in either case, I can't believe it took more than a page to discern 刀 from katakana カ. orz

we obviously didnt think it is worth anything.. its just very cool to find a sword, deep in the ground haha.. we think someone has hidden it, years ago because its very unlikely to lose it, i guess.

yes well how can you see how deep the blade extends into the hilt? you should break it open right?
I think normally you can unwrap the cloth of the handle and there's a piece of wood underneath. You can gradually pull the wood away from the blade. This should be reversible, as that is how the sword was made. However, if it's cheap, I don't want to make any warranty. :)

It's not exactly beyond the capacity of modern technology to fake that kind of oxidation or aging, though. Oxidizing a metal isn't very difficult, it was something I did in a lab second semester of general chemistry. The the second point, I agree.
