The blade is finely crafted, the body is long and slender, the lines are even and beautiful, the shape is simple and grand, the handle is smooth and plain. Despite its age, the blade remains sharp, its cold light intimidating. The scabbard is made of wood covered in sharkskin, the texture clearly visible, and the scabbard fittings are decorated with cloud scrolls. The condition is original, with slight rust spots on the blade; its original, untouched state makes it all the more precious.
