The steel blade is curved and single edged, with a single fuller running most of its length. The hilt is plain, of iron with short quillons ending in flat terminals, narrow langets with globular lotus bud terminals, a slightly asymmetrical ovoid grip, slightly concave dish pommel with a medial dome and a pierced finial. Attached to the lower quillon and pommel is a rather flat knucklebow. The hilt retains some of its black paint, the blade and rest of the hilt are polished bright
