Blade Features:
The sword is distinguished by its gunome hamon, a wave-like pattern running along the edge, which is both aesthetically striking and highly functional. The gold line (金筋) within the hamon further enhances its beauty and reflects the meticulous craftsmanship. The itame-hada (plank-like grain) on the body and masame-hada (straight grain) along the ridge give the blade its characteristic texture, ensuring durability and strength.
Mountings:
Scabbard (Saya): The saya is decorated with a sandan-kizami (grooved) design, adding both elegance and grip functionality.
Habaki (Blade Collar): A well-crafted silver habaki provides a perfect fit for the blade, while adding visual appeal and durability.
