One would think that Amaterasu was already a Blaze Release and Kagutsuchi are variations. "Kagatsuchi" is shape transformation as stated by C. The only reason Kagatsuchi has Blaze Release prefix is because Blaze Release is what it manipulates, that being the Amaterasu. Basically Kagatsuchi is Rasengan of the equation, while Amaterasu is Rasenshuriken blades.
