The blade has a noticeable difference between the base and tip, with a slightly extended and sharp construction.  The steel has a well-forged ko-itame pattern with ji-nie and chikei, showing a faint utsuri.  The hamon is a bright and clear suguha with small ashi, and towards the tip, it slightly mixes with a wavy pattern.  The yokote area has a wider hamon, and the boshi is straight with a rounded return.

Bare weight: 729 grams.
