Product Details
This WWII Type 98 Shin-Gunto NCO sword replica features a full tang blade forged from 1095 carbon steel and finished to a chrome polish. Hardened to 60 HRC, the steel delivers strong edge retention and durability. The blade profile follows the traditional curvature found in wartime-issued gunto, making this an accurate tribute to the swords carried by Japanese non-commissioned officers during the Second World War.
The tsuka measures 6.3 inches and is wrapped in dark blue ito cord over white polyurethane leather in a cross-hatch pattern. Beneath the wrapping, the handle core seats the full tang securely. Real copper fittings - including the fuchi, kashira, and habaki - give the grip section a warm, aged bronze tone that pairs naturally with the military styling of this piece.
The copper tsuba features a simple military-regulation profile consistent with mass-produced NCO gunto of the era. Its understated form provides visual balance between the polished blade and the olive-toned saya without unnecessary ornamentation. A stamped brass collar at the base of the tsuba adds another layer of period-accurate detail to this Old Katana replica.
The saya is constructed from iron and finished in olive lacquer, closely matching the field-green color used on original WWII military scabbards. A brass suspension ring is mounted near the mouth of the saya, replicating the attachment point used for belt carry. The saya measures 13 inches and protects the blade securely when sheathed.
With an overall length of 20.5 inches, a blade length of 12.5 inches, and a total weight of 1.5 lbs, this Shin-Gunto replica is sized and weighted for confident display. Every component is individually handcrafted, making it a meaningful addition to any WWII memorabilia collection or a standout piece among Real Samurai Sword displays.
