WW2 Japanese Gunto Sword
The WW2 Japanese gunto sword carries a very different feel from earlier samurai blades — more military in spirit, but still tied to traditional Japanese sword craftsmanship. Collectors often look for the balance between historical style and solid construction, and that’s exactly what matters here. Many gunto sword designs in this collection feature full tang builds, carbon steel blades, and details inspired by officer-era mountings from the Second World War. These are made for people who appreciate military history, Japanese culture, or simply want a WW2 Japanese gunto sword that feels substantial in hand rather than overly decorative. Take a closer look and find the piece that fits your collection best.

The item arrived well packaged and in a timely manner. I am pleased with this item but have made several minor alterations to improve appearance. the price was not too bad. I would buy again from this company if I found an item I liked and was priced right

My order came in pretty quickly and the quality seems pretty good! It’s a gift so I have to wait till it’s opened to see how durable it is but it’s got good weight to it :D

Placed the order on July 14th and received the sword today. Apparently when TrueKatana says "in stock" that means in stock in China.....still, the tracking was not bad at all, I could log on and get info anytime, right up until delivery. I admit I was apprehensive about paying this much for a Katana, but I have to say that it has exceeded my expectations and I am very happy with this purchase. r
The fit and finish is absolutely perfect, I cannot find a flaw in this blade, handle or scabbard. It even came with a neat silk lined case that I wasn't expecting. The Hamon is perfect, the blade has a beautiful taper and it is true to all the features of a WWII type 98 Shin Gunto. Anyone worried about the quality matching the price should buy with confidence, you will not be disappointed with this Katana!!!!!!

WWII Type 98 Shin Gunto Katana in Damascus Steel with Brown Leather Saya - Gold Tsuba Officer's Replica |
Charles Hollenbeck

Amazing quality. Everything is snug, tight, and very well-built. The tang is tightly wound with durable ray skin underneath. The end cap of the tang is snuggly fitted. The blade itself, while this will be used for display, is extremely sturdy. r
r
My main purchasing factor was that True Katana was the only company selling WWII katanas (olive color, rosewood, etc.), and all of the designs and effects are 100% accurate, with the reasonable exception that there is no stamp on the blade (but that's expected, because those forges did not make the blade). With that being said, for what this is, it's well worth the price. r
r
Also, shipping was very fast considering it came from China to America.

Great sword for the price. Could have been a bit sharper. But, I bought it mostly for display. It arrived much faster than I thought. I’ll definitely buy from True Katana again.
