This knife with a weight of 128,1g bears features of Japanese saber. The curvy and sharp edge, together with the length of over 1m, enables the knife to cause mass casualty. With a grip designed to be held by both hands, the hilt is also equipped with an oval iron cross-guard, serving as the divider between the blade and the hilt so as to protect the hand holding the knife. It is speculated that the evenly-arranged small holes on the cross-guard were created for decoration.
