The blade's width is approximately 1.26 inches (3.20 cm) and its thickness is 0.28 inches (0.70 cm). The sword has a substantial feel, weighing approximately 1.06 kg (2.34 lbs).

The handguard (tsuba) is a piece of art, intricately carved from pure copper and finished with gilded silver plating. The scabbard (saya) is made from solid wood with a sleek black lacquered finish. The handle (tsuka), approximately 9.06 inches (23.00 cm) long, is wrapped with cord over genuine ray skin (shark skin), providing a secure and comfortable grip.
