Measuring 24 3/4 inches overall with a wavy hamon on the 18 inch blade, a 2-piece copper/gilt copper habaki, a cut-through 12-lobed brass tsuba, gilt fuchi and kashira, and a green cord wrap over fu-dog menuki and white rayskin. It has a textured canvas-covered saya with gilt fittings and untranslated labels attached to the sides.
