A serrated pattern has been woven into the structure of the blade and is defined by a dark brown dyed fibre of the same material used to weave the mass of the blade. The length of the handle is dark brown in colour and shows hafted marks along its surface. A braid of dark brown lau ulu (human hair) has been woven through a set of lau fā wefts and portrays a chevron-like pattern where the blade and handle intersect. Some fibrous ends have been left loose.
