Product Details
This WW2 Type 97 Shin Gunto katana replica features a hand-forged manganese steel blade built in full tang construction. The steel holds a clean, polished finish with a defined edge line running the length of the curved blade. At 41 inches overall and 3 lbs in weight, the sword carries authentic heft that reflects the original Japanese Army officer sidearms of the era.
The 11-inch tsuka is wrapped in black PU samegawa beneath tightly wound green cord ito, creating the distinctive diamond pattern seen on military-issue gunto handles. Brass-tone menuki sit beneath the cord, and the kashira cap at the pommel matches the aged metal finish found across all fittings. A brown leather sageo with a decorative tassel ties off at the kurikata, completing the officer-style presentation.
The alloy tsuba stands out with a multi-tone finish blending antique brass borders and copper-tone center panels. Plum blossom motifs frame the guard edges, while heart-shaped cutouts pierce the plate - a design detail that nods to traditional Japanese metalwork while fitting the WW2 gunto profile. This piece pairs well with other swords from our Green Katana collection.
The saya is crafted from hardwood and wrapped in green PU leather, giving it a smooth matte surface with a military tone. Brass-colored metal bands reinforce the koiguchi, center, and kojiri sections. A small round kurikata with a bell-shaped knob adds a unique accent midway along the scabbard. The overall green-and-bronze color palette ties the saya directly to the handle and tsuba fittings.
Whether displayed alongside other Light Green Saya Japanese Samurai Swords or featured as a standalone WW2 militaria piece, this Shin Gunto replica delivers detailed craftsmanship from pommel to tip. The combination of manganese steel construction, layered metal finishes, and period-accurate green leather styling makes it a focused collectible for Japanese sword and military history enthusiasts. Please note that the sword stand is not included.
