Measuring 34 1/2 inches overall with a 24 1/4 inch blade, showing a fine straight hamon, copper habaki, square iron tsuba, and a tan cord wrapped hilt with a blue/brown tassel and "sitting Buddha" menuki. The tang has two mekugi-ana, and no visible signature. With a brown leather covered saya with a single suspension ring.

Fair. The blade tip has been sharpened (possibly reshaped), with pitting on the left side near the tip, traces of storage grease, mild spotting and handling marks. The tsuba shows a near black aged color with some light stains and handling on the hilt. A small loop of cord run around the koshirae has been cut, and the ends glued to prevent fraying. The sheath is good, with mild scuffs.
