The itame-hada (plank-like grain) on the body and masame-hada (straight grain) along the ridge give the blade its characteristic texture, ensuring durability and strength.

Scabbard (Saya): The saya is decorated with a sandan-kizami (grooved) design, adding both elegance and grip functionality.

Habaki (Blade Collar): A well-crafted silver habaki provides a perfect fit for the blade, while adding visual appeal and durability.
