Additional features include a bo-hi (wide groove) and a parallel so-hi (small groove), with a medium sori (curvature). The blade is forged by hand from 1070 high carbon steel and clay tempered to produced a traditional hamon. This differential heat treatment gives it a harder edge and softer spine, making it able to retain its edge through many uses.

The mounting uses traditional materials including genuine rayskin, silk or cotton cord, and with fittings made of gold, silver, nickel, copper, brass, and steel. All
