Kissaki Moroha Zukuri (鋒両刃造) blades like the Kogasaru Maru (Japanese translation: "little crow") are sometimes referred to as Kogarasu Zukuri (小烏造), since the blade of the Kogarasu Maru is shaped this way and is well known for its distinctive sugata. The Kogarasu Maru is unique as a bridge between the old double-edged Japanese Ken and the traditional Japanese tachi and eventual katana.
