A Japanese sword measuring 60.1 cm in nagasa with a sori of 1.1 cm. The nakago has been shortened through suriage. The blade features an irregular, undulating midare hamon. An unusual detail is the thinning of the mune along the central section on one side of the blade, creating a distinctive weight-reducing profile.

The sword is mounted in Type 98 guntō koshirae with a leather-covered scabbard, typical of field-service mounts. The remounting of traditionally forged blades into military fittings was common during the wartime period, reflecting continued functional use.
