Specialties of all other katanas are stated clearly in the show, but the
specialty of **Nokogiri** ( _seen in the picture below_ ) wasn't explained
clearly and in detail. What is the unique specialty of the katana Nokogiri
which was under the possession of [Zanki
Kiguchi](http://katanagatari.wikia.com/wiki/Zanki_Kiguchi)?

What is the specialty of Nokogiri?


According to the [Katanagatari
wiki](http://katanagatari.wikia.com/wiki/Deviant_Blades#Nokogiri), the
Nokogiri doesn't have any poison but has the ability to cure the effects of
the poison from the other swords:

> A wooden sword that sharply contrasts its title as "King of Swords", it is
> in the possession of Zanki Kiguchi. Unlike the other Deviant Blades, it
> doesn't have any of the poison found in Kiki's blades. It is the purest
> blade with the ability to cure the effects of the poison the other swords
> have on their owners. A small floral mark and yellowish streak on the sword
> identifies it as Nokogiri.
