Jin Tachi refers to the way the sword attaches to an Obi (worn sash). Two hangers are used attach the sword to the obi, and the blade is hung edge down. This sword is equipped with a stylish 26 inch stainless steel blade. The handle is a cord wrap, which goes well with the partial wrap of the saya (scabbard). The rest of the saya has a bright metallic gold lacquered finish with etched metal accents. The tsuba (guard) is finely detailed with a floral pattern and has an antiqued finish.
