Shinobi ana:　忍び孔　An extra mekugi ana, place near the tip of the nakago, for added security and tightness of the tsuka.  Seen, for example in what is commonly, but erroneously, referred to as Marine Gunto.

The reference to the "marine gunto" is referring to a Type 100 Military Sword, sometimes called by the standard it was released under, Rinji Seishiki 臨時制式.
