Made from 1045 carbon steel with a hardness of 55 HRC, the blade is crafted in the Shinogi-Zukuri style with a Hohlkehle (Bo-Hi) groove. The razor-sharp blade features a Hamon finish.
The grip is made in the classical Hineri-Maki style, wrapped with shagreen and rough-woven cotton. Two bamboo stifts (Mekugi) secure the grip to the tang (nakago).
This katana comes with a wooden scabbard made in the Kuroro style.
The katana measures 103 cm overall with a 72 cm blade and weighs 1000 grams.
