The thickness of the steel blade slowly tapers from 0.31 cm to 0.23 cm towards the tip with an abraded surface finish particularly from the shaping of the edges. A tight leather grip of tan to brown leather shows a spiral embossed decoration. There are some surfaces losses from the leather and the blade shows patches of discoloration from old rust spots. A well fitting scabbard and strap of red tan leather are included. Overall length is 22 inches (56 cm) with a weight of 16 1/3 ounces (462 grams).
