Double blood grooves are featured on the blade and are necessary for a sword of this magnitude. The metal Tsuba (guard) has a very unique design similar to a tribal flame. This Odachi is like the dragon of all swords. Therefore, it has a dragon engraving on the handle itself. Note that the handle is wooden and has pegs holding in the full 14.5 inch long tang.
