In sword mode he can be hand-held via 5 mm post, though the hooked end of the handle prevents mounting him in shallower holes.

Notes
- Despite being a bird, Giza recycles the name of the original Giza (itself an animal-sword for a Nemesis Prime), whose name is derived from ノコギリザメ (nokogirizame), the Japanese term for the saw shark. However, conveniently enough, it is coincidentally similar to ギザギザ (gizagiza), the Japanese word for "jagged"... though this Giza has a much smoother cutting edge. Oh well!
