It is used in a variety of situations, including for joinery, kumiko, and koto craftsmen, as well as for investigating clay walls of cultural properties (it cannot be used for striking purposes like a chisel).
In addition to its appearance, the hilt has a functional role of controlling the center of gravity, preventing moisture and water from entering the hilt, and preventing the blade from rotting (so that the blade does not fall out due to rotting).
