- Blade is forged from high manganese steel with a distinctive rose gold finish, delivering solid hardness and flexibility suited for display collectors and Japanese history enthusiasts.
- Full tang construction runs the entire length of the handle, providing structural integrity and balance across the 41-inch overall length of this Type 97 Shin Gunto replica.
- Black dragon-themed tsuba in alloy adds a bold visual anchor between the brown cord-wrapped handle and the rose gold blade, with gold-tone habaki separating the two.
- Orange hardwood lacquer saya features engraved cherry blossom motifs in white along the body, secured with black sageo cord - a striking contrast to the warm rose gold blade.
- Brown ito handle wrapping follows traditional diagonal cross-pattern over PU black samegawa, with black alloy fittings completing the dark-toned handle hardware.
- Each sword is individually hand-forged, so minor variations in finish and fit are inherent to the handmade process - no two pieces are exactly alike.

Product Details
The blade on this Shin Gunto Type 97 replica is forged from high manganese steel and finished in a warm rose gold tone that sets it apart from conventional silver-finished katana. Text engravings run along the flat of the blade near the base, accompanied by a decorative border motif - visible detail work that reflects the design language of Imperial Japanese officer swords. The steel delivers reliable hardness and flexibility, making it a solid piece for serious collectors of WW2 Japanese Sword reproductions.
The tsuka is wrapped in brown ito cord using a traditional diagonal cross-pattern over PU black samegawa, giving the handle a firm and textured grip. A gold-tone habaki sits at the base of the blade, and black alloy fittings complete the handle hardware. The kashira and fuchi are finished in black alloy to match the overall dark-toned handle construction.
The tsuba is cast in black alloy with a raised dragon motif - an intricate design that occupies the full circular guard surface. The contrast between the black tsuba and the gold habaki creates a deliberate visual break between blade and handle, characteristic of the Shin Gunto officer sword aesthetic.
The orange hardwood lacquer saya is the most visually striking element of the set. White-engraved cherry blossom imagery runs along the upper section of the scabbard, with kanji characters below - a refined decorative treatment on a lacquered wood base. Black sageo cord is tied at two points along the saya, providing traditional carry suspension. The koiguchi and kojiri fittings are finished in black alloy to tie the hardware together. This piece also fits naturally alongside other Gold Blade Manganese Steel Katana replicas for collectors building a themed display.
Overall length is 41 inches and the piece weighs 4 pounds. Packaged in a 43 x 4 x 4-inch box with a shipping weight of 5 pounds. Each sword is individually hand-forged, so minor specification variations between pieces are expected. Sword stand not included.
