- Brown hardwood natural saya is fitted with bronze-tone kojiri, kurikata, and sageo ring fittings; a white sageo cord ties off at the kurikata in classic military knot style.
- Overall length 40.5 in, blade width 1.26 in, weight 3.17 lb - proportioned to match Type 98 shin gunto references for collectors focused on WWII Japanese military edged history.

Product Details
The blade is ground from T10 carbon steel and hand-finished to reveal a natural hamon line running the length of the cutting edge. A wave motif is engraved along the blade flat, adding visual rhythm to the chrome-polished surface and giving the steel a depth that reads clearly even at display distance. At 40.5 inches overall with a 1.26-inch blade width, the proportions follow Type 98 shin gunto references closely.
The tsuka is wrapped in brown cord over a bed of genuine white samegawa, the diamond-shaped openings in the wrap exposing the ray skin beneath in the traditional manner. A bronze-tone kashira caps the pommel end, and the full tang construction ensures the handle assembly stays rigid through the full length of the grip.
The tsuba is the visual centerpiece of the mounting. Cast in a black-and-gold finish, it carries raised flower motifs across both faces - a design directly echoing the decorative ironwork seen on period Type 98 officer fittings. The habaki and seppa are finished in a warm gold tone that bridges the polished blade and the darker guard without visual interruption.
The brown hardwood natural saya is fitted with bronze-tone kojiri at the tip, a kurikata on the body for the sageo, and a matching throat collar at the mouth. A white sageo cord loops through the kurikata and ties off in a formal bow, completing the WWII shin gunto aesthetic. The wood surface carries visible grain texture under its finish.
