Measuring 39 1/2 inches in overall length with a 28 1/4 inch blade showing a slightly wavy hamon set into a striped copper habaki. The tsuba is round iron construction, with 14 scallops around the edge and a pierced-through leaf design in the center. The fuchi and kashira are gold accented brass, with a pair of of dog themed menuki under the dark wrap. The saya is wrapped in textured black leather, with fittings decorated to match the hilt. The tang has one mekugi-ana, and a 12-figure carved signature on the left side.

Excellent overall. The exceptional blade shows a few minor nicks on the edge, with some minor spotting, a bright appearance, and fine hamon and grain. The furniture is in good order, with a well aged patina on the tsuba, flaking of the silver plating on the spacers, and mild wear overall. The saya shows some mild scuffing of the leather. The tang shows a deep, well aged brown patina, with fine detail in the signature.
