Measuring 35 1/4 inches overall, with a 24 1/2 inch blade showing a wavy hamon fitted into a silver finished habaki. The tsuba, fuchi and kashira are of darkened iron construction, with the former decorated with raised mountain and bird scenes, a green cord wrap over horse-themed brass menuki, and a black lacquered saya with leather cover. The tang has a single mekugi-ana with the left side bearing a Seki Arsenal stamp, a seven-symbol signature and a deeply struck kokuin seal. The signature appears to be for Matsuda Takaichi (aka Kanetaka) of Seki, Noshu Province, a showa-era smith active c.1939-1945.
