This reproduction of a Japanese military sword is called Gunto, and the design is based on French military sabers. But in order to bring the Japanese troops closer to the spirit of the samurai code of honor (Bushido), it was decided in 1934 to bring the style closer to the katana.
The swords of ordinary soldiers were mostly made of industrially usable quality. On the other hand, the swords of high-ranking military personnel were often equipped with traditionally forged master blades (while the rank of an officer could be recognized by the colors of the sageo sword). Unlike the katana, the sageo was mounted on the end of the Gunta handle.
This sword has a shinogi-zukuri style blade. Underneath the ornate tsuba is a traditional button with which you can draw the sword from its scabbard. Gunto Katana brown hardware, as well as the cotton handle and lacquered scabbard of the sword.
