Quite large, with an overall length of 45 inches and a blade of 37 inches. The blade is has he same general shape as the katana or M1899, with a distinctive curve, marked by a defined shoulder and a medial ridge on the spine. When originally purchased in China the owner was told that it had been used in the Boxer Rebellion.
