Product Details

Faithfully modeled after the Type 98 Shin-Gunto carried by Japanese Army NCOs in WWII, this replica captures the rugged, practical character of wartime military swords. It is a striking piece for collectors of military history and Japanese swords.

Part of our Type 95 Shin Gunto collection.

  • Blade: the blade is made of 1095 high carbon steel and heat treated to around 60 hrc for good hardness and edge retention. it follows the graceful curvature of wartime gunto blades and has a chrome-polished finish without a hamon. the full tang runs through the handle for strength and stability.
  • Handle (tsuka): true to the original nco swords, the handle is cast metal with a molded wrap pattern in a bronze tone, topped with a military-style pommel cap (kabuto-gane). the handle is permanently secured to the blade with adhesive inside, so it is very solid and stable. please note: this sword cannot be disassembled.
  • Guard & fittings: a copper guard (tsuba) with a plain, military-regulation profile, paired with a brass habaki stamped with the type 98 marking. a scabbard locking clip near the guard keeps the blade securely in the saya.
  • Scabbard (saya): the scabbard is made of iron with an olive-green painted finish, recreating the field-green look of wwii military scabbards. it features a single brass suspension ring and a protective metal chape at the tip.
  • Overall length of 20.5 inches with a 12.5-inch nagasa and 6.3-inch tsuka, weighing 1.5 lbs for balanced handling and display presence.

Frequently Asked Questions

What steel is used in this Shin-Gunto replica?
The blade is forged from 1095 carbon steel, hardened to 60 HRC for strong edge retention. It features a chrome-polished finish and full tang construction that runs through the entire length of the copper-fitted handle.
What makes the saya on this WWII sword unique?
The saya is crafted from iron rather than the typical hardwood, then finished in olive lacquer to replicate the field-green color of original military scabbards. A brass hanging ring near the mouth mirrors the belt-carry attachment point found on period NCO gunto.
Are the copper fittings on the handle and tsuba real copper?
Yes, the tsuba, fuchi, kashira, and habaki are all crafted from real copper. They carry a warm bronze tone that pairs with the dark blue ito wrapping and olive saya, closely matching the look of wartime-issued Type 98 NCO swords.

Excellent. As described. Another great piece for my son and I's collection. Certainly not a cheap toy. Battle Ready.

The sword arrived less than 15 days, very fast shipping. The sword is very sturdy and the quality is great, for the price!! The edge is not very sharp, which is okay. It is very unfortunate that the blade and tsuka cannot be disassembled for maintenance. That would be my only compliment

My son LOVES his new sword.
Very happy with the purchase!

I have held a real 95 gunto military sword and this one for the money is an excellent reproduction! Very sharp, so be careful! The metal is high grade carbon steel (1095) which holds its edge! A nice collectors piece without having to spent serious money on the real thing!
