Measuring 38 inches overall, the 27 1/8 inch blade shows a wavy hamon, fine grain, and is fitted in a gilt copper habaki. The fittings are of military pattern, with untranslated 2-figure signatures on the tsuba and seppa (3 on each side, mixed materials), a blue and brown tassel and brown cord wrap over the cherry blossom menuki. A small silver mon plaque is present on the square iron tsuba is decorated with a crossed feather pattern (associated with multiple clans). The military-pattern metal saya is wrapped with leather, with a single tachi-style suspension ring. The right side of the tang bears a two-symbol signature, possibly "Kiyomune", a surname shared by a number of recorded swordsmiths.
