A Japanese military sword from the Shōwa period, measuring approximately 65.7 cm in length with 1.7 cm of sori. The blade has a notably robust and substantial construction, with a relatively powerful overall form and a restrained suguha hamon. Its solid proportions and practical configuration give it a distinctly service-oriented, functional character, rather than an emphasis on purely decorative workmanship.

It is fitted with Type 98 military mounts and a leather-covered scabbard, completing its wartime military configuration.
