Product Details
This Shin Gunto Type 98 officer saber replica features a 28.5-inch clay-tempered T10 steel blade with a visible hamon line running along the edge. The steel has been folded to produce a distinctive damascus pattern across the surface, hardened to 60 HRC for a refined edge. The blade arrives sharpened and displays a chrome-toned finish that contrasts with the dark layered grain of the folded steel.
The 10.25-inch tsuka is built on a full tang hardwood core wrapped in PU white samegawa for texture, then bound with brown cotton cord in a traditional crisscross pattern. The kashira at the pommel and the fuchi collar share the same antique brass finish, tying the handle visually to the rest of the fittings. This construction keeps the grip firm and balanced at 4.5 lbs overall.
At the center of the koshirae sits a gold-tone alloy tsuba in an oval profile, decorated with a floral relief motif. The close-up reveals detailed petal and vine carvings across the guard face, consistent with officer-grade Shin Gunto ornamentation. This tsuba style pairs well with other pieces in our Damascus Wakizashi collection for those building a matched display.
The 28.5-inch brown hardwood saya features a matte finish with natural wood-grain texture visible along its length. Antique-brass metal fittings include a koiguchi mouth, a kurikata with a hanging ring and ornate sculpted detail, and a shaped kojiri end cap. The overall silhouette faithfully follows the WWII-era military saber profile.
Measuring 40.5 inches in total length and weighing 4.5 lbs, this Shin Gunto replica captures the distinct brown-and-gold color scheme of a Type 98 officer's sword. Every fitting - from the floral tsuba to the ring-mounted kurikata - reflects the period design. Whether displayed alongside a Short Wakizashi companion piece or standing on its own, this saber makes a striking addition to any Japanese sword collection.
